Is there a specific area in your life that you have noticed a pattern of self-sabotage when you reach a certain point? Many of us have inaccurately associated negative thoughts with the things we want such as career success, financial wellbeing, and fulfilling relationships. These false associations lead us to sabotage ourselves from achieving our ultimate goals.

In my personal experience, I have falsely and negatively associated deep relationships with a fear of being hurt.  Whenever a relationship gets to a point that I become vulnerable, I run away and never go back.  This pattern of self -sabotage has forced me into many unfulfilling relationships and more physical pain.

In order to eliminate self-sabotage you must first recognize the pattern and then gain leverage.  Answer the questions, if I continue down this path what am I going to miss out on? If I change my course of action what am I going to gain?
