Self-Sabotage Behaviors and Procrastination

Self-sabotage behaviors such as procrastination, social comparison, and taking on too much can set a person up for failure. For example, going on social media to compare oneself to others' success can lead to feelings of failure and further self-sabotage. Procrastination, which is often linked to anxiety, is a common self-sabotage behavior. It is a way of avoiding the pain associated with a task that may bring up feelings of inferiority or insecurity. To overcome procrastination, breaking tasks into manageable chunks or setting a specific time limit can help create a sense of accomplishment and build momentum.
