Understanding Your Behavior

The first step is identifying the problem.
Self-sabotage can be defined as any behavior that prevents success when success has been achieved in the past.
This often leads to self-doubt, which in turn can lead to negative thoughts and emotions that result in destructive actions.
You may be asking yourself,
“Why am I doing this?”
The answer is more complex
than just “I don’t want this.”
Stop Your Self-Sabotage:
It is important to recognize self-sabotaging thoughts and behaviors. This way you can stop doing them.
Once you have identified the patterns, make a decision not to engage in them anymore.

One of the most difficult tasks is to motivate yourself to be productive. Self-motivation is always the key to success, no matter what kind of work you are doing. Everyday we are faced with many challenges. You have to push your limits and take action if you want to be successful in life.
