Do you even know really what self sabotage is and what it looks like?

So many people engage in self sabotaging behaviour but don’t actually realize what they are doing. I use to sabotage myself all the freakin’ time, without having a clue that this is what I was doing.

Self sabotage is kind of like that unexpected guest at a party who shows up uninvited and starts causing a ruckus. If you’re wondering if you might be engaging in self sabotage, let's break it down, and figure out if this sneaky sidekick is crashing your life too.

So, what's the scoop on self sabotage?

Imagine having a shadow version of yourself – the one who's all about raining on your parade. Self sabotage is like that, throwing shade on your goals, happiness, and success. It's time to expose this drama queen for who she really is!
