Deep dives

Understanding Self-Sabotage

Self-sabotage involves creating unnecessary problems that hinder the achievement of personal goals. It manifests in both actions taken to one's detriment and the avoidance of beneficial behaviors. This behavior often stems from a gap between one's current state and desired outcomes, causing resistance and discomfort. Recognizing self-sabotage as a human tendency fosters compassion rather than self-loathing, allowing individuals to confront their unconscious habits and gain awareness of their financial behaviors.
