Self Sabotage: It Is Unconscious

Most of us don’t consciously work to sabotage ourselves. We consciously work very hard to get where we want to go, but something gets in our way. That something is often ourselves and our subconscious. We subconsciously work against ourselves and this internal tug of war is often evident in our thoughts and feelings. We want to go the gym, but somehow don’t get there. We want to apply for that job, but somehow don’t manage to get our resume turned in on time. In this mental tug of war, the subconscious will always win.
Most of us don’t realize how powerful our subconscious minds are. Many of us are totally unaware of how our actions and inactions are affecting our lives. We believe that things never work out for us and marvel at and resent people who are “luckier” than ourselves. We believe that we just don’t have what it takes to succeed. However, we fail to realize that we participate in our own failure.
