How do I get myself out of the shackles of self-sabotage?
Make decisions very slowly. Plan every step you are going to take in advance. Try to anticipate any problems that might come up. The slower you go, the easier it is to correct yourself when you start to get off track. The reason why we sabotage ourselves is because our emotions get the best of us. You have to deliberately take control from your emotions and hand it over to your thinking mind. Just practice being more rational in every day life. Look at what triggers you when you do sabotage yourself. Over time, you will be able to resist these triggers if you continue to try to understand your motivation for why you are triggered. It is all about getting control over your emotions. People have to work on this their whole lives. If you can learn to trust yourself, you will be able to resist harming yourself. It takes time to build trust with yourself. But once you trust yourself then you can begin to love yourself and this will make self-sabotage less frequent.
Well, you have to be committed and to be completely willing to break the cycle of self-sabotage. Cycles are areas in our life, that we are prone too and that have a clutch on our lives. In order to overcome the struggle of what you’re facing, is to simply understand the root of the problem. What caused it in the first place?, do you remember any experiences before it occurred?, and how does it make you feel? To solidify your boundaries with your problem is to identify it’s core construct. Work day by day, by building and creating healthy and positive habits. Make a list of needs to be done, and take courses on learning organization, management, and people skills. You must take action, that is critical for any cycle, trial, obstacle, etc.. It’s not that a want anymore, it’s a need. Taking small steps first can be extremely essential, once you have one foot on the door, the rest is good to go.
