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.
