"Self-sabotage is when we say we want something and then go about making sure it doesn't happen." - Alyce P. Cornyn-Selby

Why would you self-sabotage your efforts? It doesn't make sense right?

If someone were to tell you on your face that you are holding back your own accomplishments, you'd probably wish you could tell him to get lost.

He could be right. Can't you accept a frank opinion?

You, like almost everyone else, want a better lifestyle, more money, good health and meaningful relationships. And like many of them, it's likely that you are only putting in half the efforts.

Take your health for example. If you want good health but your diet consists of fast and processed food, you are doing it the wrong way.

If a toned body is what you seek to achieve but you'd rather sit in front of the television instead of taking that walk, you can forget your dream.

Maybe you want prosperity or wealth. You know you have to seek the knowledge and skill. But, you put it off because you want to wait for the appropriate time or opportunity.

You want your relationships to work but you won't listen. You whine, nag and cry. You wish to influence others but your character and attitudes don't attract people and you aren't willing to work on your personal growth. You think it's them who need to change.

You're moving towards self-destruction.

Can you do something about it? Can you stop further damage to your mediocre life?

Of course.

Self-sabotage has a lot to do with limiting beliefs. You don't believe in yourself. You think of yourself as unworthy of successful attempts, be it losing weight or accumulating wealth.

You don't realize this and you wonder what's wrong. Here's why.

You can trace back to your growing up years. You may have been told too often that you don't deserve what some others do. You may have been brought up to accept things without questioning them. You were made to believe that you were born to serve and you should put your interest aside. You believe them and what they said.

They no longer tell you now. You can go against what you've been told but you can't. You don't know what's stopping you.

Now, breathe deeply. Focus on your breathing. Relax. Listen within. What do you hear?

Internal talks and voices that tell you what you shouldn't and can't do and why. Whose voices are those? Who is talking to whom? Only you can answer that.

Look further within. Think of money. What do you see? Did you see stash of money or bills? Whose face appears on your mental screen? What was your feeling like when the word money came up?

The enemy who is obstructing your chances to succeed is not the people, the government or whatever system you think it is. It is you. It's your thinking, your memories and past programming.

If you can accept this, then you are ready to take deliberate action to fight back. End self-sabotage by reprogramming your mind with The Silva Method
