Recognize Your Self-Sabotaging Behaviour
In order to stop self-sabotage, you first need to recognize your own self-sabotaging behaviour. Ask yourself:
- What goals have you had for yourself for a long time and never been able to accomplish?
- What do you consistently fail at, for no obvious reason?
- Are there particular areas where you find yourself procrastinating or putting off making a decision?
- Are you suffering from lack of motivation to do something that you should want to do?
- Do you find yourself unreasonably angry or frustrated, and is this affecting your relationships?
- Is there an area where other people (and in particular, your boss) consistently get frustrated with you? or
- Is there something in your life that nags at you and causes you dissatisfaction because you know you could do it, or do it better?
Ask yourself questions like these, and tune in to the situations where you may be sabotaging yourself.
