Why we sabotage ourselves

Self-sabotage is the act of unconsciously undermining your own goals or success. It can manifest in various ways, such as procrastination, self-doubt, or making poor decisions that negatively impact your well-being.So why do people self-sabotage? There are several possible reasons.One reason is fear of failure or success. Some people may have a deep-seated belief that they are not capable of achieving their goals or that they don't deserve success. As a result, they may sabotage their own efforts to avoid the potential disappointment of failing or the uncertainty of change that success can bring.Another reason is low self-esteem or self-worth. People who have a negative view of themselves may not believe they are worthy of achieving their goals or may feel undeserving of happiness and success. This can lead them to self-sabotage as a way to protect themselves from the potential rejection or criticism of others.Self-sabotage can also be a coping mechanism for dealing with stress or difficult emotions. When faced with challenges, some people may turn to unhealthy behaviors as a way to cope, even if those behaviors ultimately harm them.If you find yourself self-sabotaging, it's important to try to identify the underlying reasons and work towards addressing them. This may involve seeking support from friends, family, or a mental health professional and working on building self-esteem and self-worth. Remember, you are capable and deserving of achieving your goals and leading a fulfilling life.Would love to have you join the conversation on IG: instagram.com/jaim91Or come hang in my Facebook group: www.facebook.com/groups/teamjaim91If you're interested in more mindset and health hacks for overwhelmed women, find me on Instagram @jaimefilerfitness, or head to https://call.jaimefiler.com/form to learn more about the 16 week 3R Method
