We all experience times of failure, small and large. And many times there are legitimate reasons beyond our control that lead to us not getting what we want. It could be we just don’t know how to handle a situation, and that’s where you reach out, get training and get back to it.
But there are other times the fault lies in ourselves. If this is a pattern, we need to ask ourselves, “Am I my own worst enemy? Am I sabotaging my own successes?”
Self-sabotage is when our actions or inactions, what we do or what we fail to do, leads to a pattern of problems. Self-sabotage may affect our relationships, our professional life, and personally in our own mental health.
