Are you prepared for an extremely quotable inspiration boost to overcome self-defeating behavior? Need a little prodding in the appropriate direction?
Tell us if you recognize any of this:
- You’ve been working for the same objectives for some time, yet you keep falling short of your ambitions.
- You truly want what you want, but first you must do the laundry because those sheets won’t wash themselves.
- Congratulations! You’ve finished your novel, memoir, or other creative endeavor, but you feel like it’s not quite finished. You put it back in your desk drawer and occupy yourself with something else that seems more exciting or novel.
- You sent it to the wrong person even though you knew they would probably tear it to pieces (since that’s what they do), and now you have evidence that your book isn’t as good as you had imagined.
This is the terrible, not-so-fun world of self-sabotage, if any of this sounds familiar.
The Price Of Neglecting Oneself
For millennia, artists and writers have been obstructing their own paths. Rarely does this conduct have a pleasant ending if you allow it to continue. This scenario can only end in one of two ways: either you don’t feel good about your creative life or you aren’t getting the work you deserve, or you just don’t feel good at all.
Alright, enough of that. It’s time to break free from whatever hold you’ve established and move—even sprint—in the direction of what YOU DO desire.
Is Self-Sabotage a Thing?
Allowing your worries to prevent you from acting on your intuition is known as self-sabotage. Fear causes a cascade of self-defeating ideas, actions, and beliefs that lead to the same thing you are attempting to avoid.
There are several explanations for this. Perhaps you act against your true desires because you believe you don’t deserve them. Perhaps instead of believing in yourself and doing what has to be done, you allow fear and uncertainty to win. Perhaps you’ve allowed distractions and other people’s priorities to take precedence over your own because you now have a spouse, children, parents, or other laundry to do. Self-sabotage can take many different forms, like losing out on significant chances, attracting a run of poor luck, or even affecting your emotional health.
Recognizing Yourself-Sabotage
Self-sabotage doesn’t always seem as you might expect. Sometimes it manifests as procrastination or distraction; other times, it appears as doing something that appears beneficial but ultimately works against your objectives. There are moments when you have to defend your limitations and make excuse after explanation for why you are unable to do the exact thing you desire.
The excuses are frequently valid (the groceries won’t buy themselves, the dog needs to be walked, and taxes are real), which is what makes them puzzling. However, one of the tools in your toolkit if you want to overcome this self-sabotage problem is acknowledging that you need to put yourself and your goals ahead of activities that may wait till later in the day or week.
The simple truth is that anytime you witness yourself having difficulty achieving your own pleasure and success, self-sabotage is at play.
Why Am I Self-Sabotaging My Own Success?
Subconsciously, you are harming your own progress rather than doing it on purpose. Many suffer from the concern that they are not good enough, which damages their self-esteem and chances of success. Sometimes the dread is of success rather than failure. Whichever one it is, dread remains the same.
Self-sabotage is problematic because it’s simple to develop a recurring pattern of doing it. Typically, it begins with an excuse: “I had intended to write today, but I have to go through this box of hand-me-downs first.” or a crippling habit (you arrange your desk in front of the TV, which you turn on to “inspire you”), or even a false belief that seems plausible (“It’s too hard to be a new novelist at my age,” “I don’t have enough proper training to be a good writer,” or “Everyone says Amy is better at it than me so why should I even bother.”).
You must overcome these behavioral habits if you want to make long-lasting changes in your life and ultimately aim for the things that will support your personal development. Only then will these patterns of behavior be unable to prevent you from moving forward.

Stepping Away From Yourself
You are in control of your emotions, ideas, and behavior. It is within your power to transform these self-defeating habits that prevent you from becoming the person you want to be and accomplishing the goals that matter most to you. I’m not attempting to suggest that it’s simple—I know it ain’t. That being said, we must all keep in mind that it is possible.
The best course of action is to change course as soon as you notice the first indication of self-destructive conduct. Stop those pessimistic ideas before they have a chance to actually take hold and ruin everything. Make smarter decisions regarding the beliefs you hold about your capabilities and yourself. One way to do this is to let go of outdated notions about your potential that you may have heard from others or yourself. Recognize the sources of those stories and consider the reasons behind your continued belief in them. Doing the necessary work to let those tales go is nothing to be afraid of.
Regaining Control of Your Life
You know if this is true for you or not. The old things could have had a use in the past, but now they’re holding you back. If so, express your gratitude, let it go, and move on toward realizing your full potential.
You’re capable of this. Now go on and produce something amazing!
