Reflecting on Protective Parts Messages

The insight emphasizes that self-sabotage often stems from the desire to protect ourselves and our egos, fueled by a natural inclination to seek safety, love, and fulfillment of basic needs. This protective nature can lead to behaviors that backfire into self-sabotage. The key is to approach challenges with the belief that we can overcome them, acknowledging that life can be tough without falling into toxic positivity. The ultimate goal is to tackle challenges with the mindset of growth and overcoming obstacles. However, it is crucial to address underlying issues and 'clean the house' of negative messages before adopting this growth mindset to avoid continued self-sabotage.
