Resistance is what happens when we have a new project that we need to work on and simply can’t bring ourselves to do it. Below, we’ll uncover some of the main signs that you’re probably in a cycle of self-sabotage. With that said, there are definitely some specific behaviors and patterns that are typically indicative of self-sabotage, and they usually relate to being aware that there’s a problem in your life, yet feeling the need to perpetuate it regardless. It’s impossible to say decisively what self-sabotage does or doesn’t look like, because certain habits and behaviors that can be healthy for one person can be unhealthy in another context. It is no small task, and yet it is the work that all of us must do at one point or another.

We must pinpoint the traumatic event, release unprocessed emotions, find healthier ways to meet our needs, reinvent our self-image, and develop principles such as emotional intelligence and resilience. To overcome this, we must go through a process of deep psychological excavation. In reality, self-sabotage is simply the presence of an unconscious need that is being fulfilled by the self-sabotaging behavior. It appears to be a product of self-hatred, low confidence, or a lack of willpower. On the surface, self-sabotage seems masochistic. If there is an ongoing gap between where you are and where you want to be-and your efforts to close it are consistently met with your own resistance, pain, and discomfort-self-sabotage is almost always at work. There is nothing holding you back in life more than yourself.
