Ok. You create your reality homie. What you think and speak with emotion becomes your reality.

Check out what Bruce Lee said in the quote in the pic.

These are all phrases to describe a common problem in healthy living, work, and relationships. Itโ€™s called self-sabotage, the tendency to undermine yourself by taking action that prevents you from getting what you want.

I like the first way of putting it, because Iโ€™ve felt like my own worst enemy in the past. It seemed like Iโ€™d start progressing on achieving something important to me, and then Iโ€™d stumble in a familiar way.

Youโ€™ve probably done it, too, and thatโ€™s OK. Most people have. Letโ€™s say youโ€™re this close to returning your posture and strength. You had a goal and trusted the process, and then you decide to go for a run because you want to satisfy your ego, and those areas of your body that were almost back to normal become dysfunctional again.

In my experience, this comes from a secondary motivation based on your subconscious conditioned fear. In this case, you could say it was to fulfill the secondary motivation of being the victim.

The desire to continue to see yourself as a victim was greater than your willingness to take control of your body and have it work for you.

Here are some simple tips Iโ€™ve used to recognize whatโ€™s happening and take action to stop it.

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿฝ ๐‘๐ž๐œ๐จ๐ ๐ง๐ข๐ณ๐ž ๐ฐ๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎโ€™๐ซ๐ž ๐๐จ๐ข๐ง๐ . You know yourself better than anyone, so bake the potential for self-sabotage into any plan. Some common symptoms of it are a refusal to ask for help, controlling behavior, negative self-talk, and a reluctance to speak up for yourself.

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿฝ๐ˆ๐๐ž๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐Ÿ๐ฒ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐Ÿ๐ž๐š๐ซ ๐ญ๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ฆ๐š๐ง๐ข๐Ÿ๐ž๐ฌ๐ญ๐ฌ ๐ข๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐š๐œ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐›๐ฅ๐จ๐œ๐ค๐ฌ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ. You might have a deep-seated fear that youโ€™ll always be second in your parentsโ€™ eyes, so why bother looking your best for a family event? Whatever the fear is, once you name it, you can deal with it.

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿฝ๐–๐ซ๐ข๐ญ๐ž ๐ข๐ญ ๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ โ€“ the plan, the potential for self-sabotage, the whole thing.

Tell a friend, coach or mentor about the plan, the potential for self-sabotage and the fear. This person can hold you accountable โ€“ not only toward achieving the desired outcome, but also to helping you overcome that self-limiting fear.

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿฝ ๐…๐จ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐š๐ง. Do what you need to do. And when that little demon speaks up โ€“ as it might โ€“ be prepared to ignore it. You donโ€™t have to convince it to be quiet. Just donโ€™t feed it with any attention or energy.

The key is to expect the tricks that little guyโ€™s going to try on you and to have a plan to thwart him at every turn.

Sabotage “HIM”, so he canโ€™t sabotage YOU.
