Self Sabotage:When Your Biggest Obstacle is Getting in your Own Way

Like Aristotle said: "We are what we repeatedly do."  I'm going to add an additional update to Aristotle's quote, we are also what we repeatedly think and perceive about ourselves, and what we let into our lives and how we let it into our lives

In the following article, I discuss the things that we do that make our lives either easier or harder. How we relate to ourselves, is just as important if not more important than how we relate to everything around us. This is because, the way that we relate to the world around us starts with us, and how we see ourselves.

When it comes to making changes, sometimes you have to realize that it's going to be tough. When making a decision to change, that doesn't mean you shouldn't do it, instead figure out what to do. In order to make those changes, and learn to cope and adapt, so those small life changes turn into giant leaps. In the long run, toughing it out in order to effectively eliminate those problems. Will make you a stronger, more well rounded human being. 

Some tips to help you to stay on the right track

• Look at what's causing the problem 
• What are you doing to either fix it, or make it worse 
• What positive habits would make it easier eliminate the negative things, so that you learn to view it from a different perspective 
• Developing self awareness 
• Developing self acceptance 
• Take ownership 
• Self care practices

It's about recognizing the importance of acceptance of the role that you play in your own life, and replacing the self destructive behaviour and habits with positive ones.
