Are you your own worst enemy with critical, negative self-talk perhaps, about how you aren't good enough? If so, you know exactly what is meant by the term self-sabotage. In episode five of last week, my interview with Char set the groundwork for diving even deeper into the types of Self Sabotage, their consequences and how to address them. Self-Sabotage is a psychological phenomenon where individuals actively or passively hinder their own success or wellbeing, despite their conscious desires for growth and success. People engaging in self-sabotaging behaviors inadvertently obstruct their own paths. This episode explores the concept of self-sabotage, delves into various types and examines their implications. In definition, self-sabotage refers to actions, thoughts or behaviors that undermine an individual's ability to achieve their goals or maintain a positive self-image. These behaviors often arise from internal conflicts, unresolved issues or negative self-beliefs. They can manifest in various aspects of life, including career, relationships and personal development. 

Overall, self-sabotage is a complex phenomenon with various types and various underlying psychological causes. Understanding these different forms and their implications, is crucial for developing effective strategies to overcome them by addressing self-sabotage, first through self-awareness, then through cognitive restructuring and maybe professional support, individuals can work towards achieving their goals and improving their overall wellbeing so call in awareness of when you are participating in self-sabotage. Improve your overall wellbeing with self-awareness first. So call in awareness, call in overcoming self-sabotage situations whenever possible.
