7 Ways You Sabotage Yourself on the Path to Reaching Your Goals
Sometimes, you really are your own worst enemy.
We all put ourselves through the cruellest form of mental torture.
We place ourselves on a pedestal and act as the centre of the universe while simultaneously taking poor care of ourselves when it comes to our long-term goals.
You develop this weird self-inflicted anxiety.
You’d think that you’d have your own back. As much as you obsess over your life, you’d think you’d be able to muster up some motivation, but you when you try, you shoot yourself in the foot. Then you beat yourself up for doing this. Then you beat yourself up for beating yourself up instead of just bouncing back.
Damn. Being a human being and just existing is stressful.
You’re susceptible to living your entire life like this — constantly sabotaging yourself and living in this limbo your whole life where you have dreams but you don’t do anything about them. Double damn.
Like I always say, no listicle is going to solve your problems. But use these little koans to spark the thoughts and behaviours that will.
