We are all prone to falling victim to self-sabotage, which holds us back from pursuing our goals or trying to level up in life. We become our own worst enemies by creating situations or behaviors that impede our progress.

The thing with self-sabotage is that it’s a very discrete thing. It is not something that you are purposefully doing, but rather things that are considered normal but ultimately hold us back.

Some symptoms of self-sabotage include procrastination, quitting, not keeping your word, being in toxic relationships, negative self-beliefs, refusing to commit to anything, avoidance, false righteous stance, lack of planning, and many others.

One of the reasons people self-sabotage is that their self-esteem is so low that they don’t take chances they know they should be taking. They are afraid of success or going out of their comfort zone that they prefer to remain where they are.
