Show Notes

  • Self-sabotage reflects our conflicting needs. Self-sabotage occurs when we have conflicting needs – some that are conscious and others that are unconscious. The path to overcoming self-sabotage involves identifying and addressing our unconscious needs.
  • Negative emotions can carry wisdom. Negative emotions such as anger, jealousy, and annoyance are not only obstacles, but can also carry profound insights into boundaries, desires, and thoughts that we might ignore or suppress.
  • Keep moving forward. Holding onto past relationships or fears can hinder progress and block new beginnings. Therefore, taking proactive steps towards self-improvement and new beginnings can lead to personal fulfillment and contentment.
  • It is important to face discomfort. Discomfort is a signal for potential growth. It helps indicate areas of our lives where we are settling for less. Notably, embracing discomfort can help lead to significant personal development.
  • We have the control to change our lives. While we might not have control over every aspect of our lives, a significant portion is within our control or at least influence. Recognizing and exercising this control is key to overcoming self-sabotage and pursuing a fulfilling life.

Whatever you plant the seed with is how the tree will grow. You plant the seed with self hate, you are only gonna get a forest of self hate. You plant a small seed with self love, and your whole life is gonna start to blossom.
