Are you a victim of self-sabotage?

I was actually having my overly-late dinner when I read this article by Dero Pedero in Philippine Star… Yeah, I used to do self-check and this one is alarming… I was surprised to see that I had checked [not all] but almost 3/4 of the items listed.   Oh my God, take your time out to consult yourselves whether or not outside forces are doing the sabotage or worse is… you, yourself is the one making that…

You may not know it, but you could be sabotaging yourself. "Is that possible?" you ask. Yes, you may be doing things consciously or unconsciously which may be detrimental to your overall health and well-being, and you could even hurt your personal relationships, financial prosperity, and peace of mind. We are all subject to everyday problems and tensions for these are inevitable. But problems by themselves have no power if we don’t let them rule and mess up our lives. It is our reaction to these problems that causes the mental and emotional stress that we commonly suffer. Having good control over how you react is of utmost significance. If your neighborhood is on fire and you take the disaster cool-headedly, your mental faculties would not be clouded too much and you might even be able to save your belongings and help other people to safety rather than be emotionally fraught and useless. There are many ways by which we sabotage ourselves. Identify which of the following you are guilty of and start to unlearn the conditioning that has been programmed into your system. Then make the necessary changes to improve yourself and reduce the unnecessary mental and emotional stresses in your life. When you are a victim of self-sabotage, only you can help yourself.

• Pessimism.
• Negative self-talk.
• Lack of self-confidence.
• Self-pity.
• Refusing to let go of the past.
• Too much ego.
• Addiction of any kind.
• Poor problem-solving skills.
• Taking on too much.
• Being closed-minded.
