Self-Sabotaging occurs when we behave in such a manner or take such actions which stop us from reaching our full potential or goals. It is very challenging to overcome this behaviour and sometimes it is so subtle that we don’t recognise how we are hurting ourselves and getting in our own way to achieve desired results.
We all do experience it, sometimes we adopt such destructive behaviour consciously while sometimes we act on it unconsciously, not realising this will not allow us to accomplish what we want from life and undermine our success.
Self-sabotaging behaviour can affect one or more areas of our life from everyday decisions to long term goals.
There are number of types of self-sabotaging but the most common types are:
- Lack of self believe
- Worthlessness
- Lack of self-esteem
- Chronic worrying
- Stress eating
- Procrastination
- Substance use
- Social withdrawal
- Self-criticism
- Poor self-care
- Need of control
How to stop self-sabotaging: 5 Tips

Hopefully, these tips will help you to overcome self-sabotage behaviour and if not you can always seek professional help.
