Have you ever stopped doing something because you thought it wouldn’t work out anyway? Have you ever thought “what’s the point?” Or “what if they hurt me?” Sometimes we self-sabotage because it’s our defense mechanism. We self-sabotage our goals, our finances, and even our relationships without really thinking about what consequences it could have in the long run. In reality, self-sabotaging is very common and may stem from a much deeper inner issue, revealing an unhealed part of ourselves. Even though self-sabotage may seem like the best decision, if it becomes our go-to we might be stunting our own long-term growth and happiness. We may think self-sabotage is the answer but trust us, if you do it you definitely not a savage.
