What Is Self-Sabotage?

The format today is a little different. A few weeks ago I recorded an incredible conversation with my good friend Gina Worful where we really dug into one core concept -Self-sabotage.

Here's the summary:

• Self-sabotage occurs at a subconscious level, meaning it influences you without you even knowing it
• Self-sabotage creates a tension in your life because you perceive incongruence between what your mind wants / expects and what your reality brings
• Self-sabotage takes the form of irrational thinking, overgeneralization, limiting beliefs, and procrastination
• Self-sabotage lives in your reptilian and limbic brain, but is made sense by our cognitive brain
• To start intervening with your self-sabotage, you need to cultivate a mindful curiosity around your emotions (shame, guilt, etc.) to begin making the unconscious conscious

When you start diving into this you’d be shocked to learn all the ways that self-sabotage holds you back and keeps you from doing the things you want to do. It’s when you have a plan in place but you fail to take action on it. When you have good intentions to be a certain way but you fall back to how things used to be. Whether this is a new or old concept for you, I think you’d learn a lot by watching the full conversation I had with Gina.
