Self Sabotage
by Kellen Von Houser, M.A.Do you have great ideas, but never follow through and accomplish them?
Do you have trouble reaching the goals you set for yourself?
Do you find that you’ve met someone who is right for you, but somehow you make it go wrong?
Do you find that when you fall into some money you spend it on foolish things or unwisely invest it and lose it again?
Do you allow opportunities to pass you by without acting on them?
Do you have difficulty finding the motivation to do what you know you
should be doing?
Do your hopes and dreams remain just that - a figment of your imagination?
Have you considered the possibility that your own behavior is thwarting your efforts? If so, you may be a victim of Self Sabotage. Many of us are our own worst enemies, and don’t even realize we are doing it. Some of us are very aware of the ways we undermine our efforts but we don’t want to deal with it so we ignore what’s happening and hope it resolves itself. Some of us are aware of what we are doing, but don’t know how to change it.
In this article we will discuss what self sabotage is, identify some of the causes, describe some of its more common forms and look at ways to combat it.
