The No. 1 reason you fail in your pursuits?

Self Sabotage.

Here's how it works: 

Understanding self-sabotage is crucial for personal growth and development. 

It involves recognizing patterns of behavior that purposefully destroy what you have built.

I have experienced this myself when I was trying to lose weight.

I sabotaged my own efforts by emotional eating and snacks that were not on my meal plan.

Self-sabotage often stems from deep-seated beliefs of unworthiness or fear of failure.

It is also related to the "Shadow self" - a concept introduced by psychologist Carl Gustav Jung.

What you have to do is to find the root cause:

- lack of belief in yourself?
- lack of self-worth?
- misalignment in your goals?
- living the life of somebody else?

Dive deep into this with journaling and contemplation.

Take long walks and think.

It's important to be compassionate towards yourself when confronting self-sabotage. 

Practice self-compassion instead of self-criticism.

This shift in mindset can help you to break the cycle of self-sabotage.

Self-awareness is key in identifying triggers that lead to self-sabotaging behavior. 

By being mindful of your thoughts and actions you can take proactive steps to prevent self-sabotage before it occurs.

Seeking support from a therapist coach or trusted individual can also be beneficial in overcoming self-sabotage.

Remember: It's not a sign of weakness to ask for help and guidance.

Remember you are worthy of success and happiness. 

Don't let self-sabotage hold you back from reaching your full potential. 

Keep pushing forward with self-awareness and self-compassion.
