5 Ways You're Subconsciously Sabotaging Yourself
5 WAYS YOU'RE SABOTAGING YOURSELF
Self-sabotage is something a lot of us do and we do it by engaging in bad habits that we're not always aware that we're doing.
When we're stuck, sometimes we know exactly why and sometimes we just can't figure it out. Why aren't things getting better? Why do we keep struggling? And for many of us, it's because we've developed bad habits we don't even realized we're doing, but are totally sabotaging our growth, happiness and success.
In this episode of GoodForMeTV, I am going to tell you the 5 bad habits that most of us subconsciously do that are keeping us stuck and frustrated and struggling, and what we can do to deal with them right here and right now.

One way to get over some of these issues is to recognize that you are definitely getting something out of living in these negative behaviors. When you see that you really love to "wait for someone to come and save you", and work through that, then you can move past it. Realizing that there is something better beyond these self-limiting behaviors gives you something to look forward to besides just the negative internal banter that you've been living with.

No one is coming. No Prince Charming. And, I am not Cinderella. I grew up with the ridiculous idea and expectation that a man would make me happy and keep me safe. But that isn't reality. Because if a man can do that, he can also make you miserable and unsafe. It is entirely up to me to choose the paths that are safe and loving. I am my own Prince Charming!

You are supposed to be able to rely on yourself AND if you start a relationship he should be able to protect you in ALL ways.
1. Assuming other people are judging you ; solution - assume people like you 2. Waiting to be Happy - Thinking you'll only be happy "if x" - solution - allow yourself to be happy now! 3. Expecting people to change, or help you (without asking) - solution - ask, and if they don't change, change your expectations. 4. Stopping/Giving when life gets hard - solution - make the most of your life despite 5. You're the Expert and Boss Of You -- no one else is as invested. *I changed the language because I thought it was kind of triggering.*

If it does not kill you, it makes you stronger..something like that..
“No one is coming to do it for you, to fix you, to save you.” This is so true and one I spent years denying despite being told something similar many years ago. Once you realize this you can own your power and make things happen for yourself. It isn’t easy but it feels so much better than waiting for others (who, as you say in the video, aren’t nearly as invested in your life as you are) to do it for you. The best freedom is to take responsibility for your self, your feelings, your actions, the direction your life is going. Lead yourself. Look deeply, look and see - don’t mind read. In a very real sense, I think we can say someone is coming and that someone is you (i.e. yourself, I, me). That is what has been missing - self-love, self-care, self-direction. I’ve been looking outside, scared to death of what someone might be thinking, knocked out of the seat of my own consciousness, waiting to be restored to my place within myself. It’s up to me. Yes. Such a great video. These are the best ones I’ve seen on KZread and they have been very helpful to me. Thank you, Julia.

Richard Patik do you think iT may have something to do with school? We are trained to listen and to confirm to someone else, a leader, or a peer-leader, or the stuff the state lays up on us. In case of the leaders, when they’re good ones, that’s super ok, but when they’re negative ones, oh dear. In my experience as teacher, there are as many or even more classes with a negative leader, than there are with a positive one. Or maybe I am biased? I wish there could be some research done on this topic. Or does it exist? JuliaKristina? I think it might be due to what I think of as a fact, that most kids don’t like to go to school. I’m talking mostly teenagers. And so the sphere is negative to begin with.
"Flinging mud from the cheap seats" is an excellent way to describe gossips and all round trouble makers. Loved that.
Must work on mind reading. Ruined a lot of good relationships this way.

But now I’m in my own home and I have the power over my own being. I am working on being mindful and grateful. Thank you Doctor Kristina!!!

Random reply from a stranger selecting people at random. 😉 Remember that this world is a wonderful world and that you have great potential. You are stronger than you can imagine. Never settle in this life. Go for your wildest dreams and you can achieve them. Piece, joy, happiness and love can be yours if you allow them into your life. Keep going you wonderful soul. ❤️
Happiness (as opposed to peacefulness and contentedness) is a fleeting thing at the best of times and I think people tend to chase it too hard. I find the best way to deal with those ups and downs is to focus on living in the present and commit yourself to practicing it. Gratitude for what most people consider the basic things in life ie/ a roof over your head, a warm place to sleep, food to eat, love and just the fact that you're still alive is really what counts imo....so I remind myself of that every time I start questioning my 'happiness'. Rather than tossing a ball over my shoulder for my dog while I'm sitting in front of the computer, I take time to engage with him, to really see his excitement and playfulness, far away from screens... and as a result, we both walk away so much happier and appreciative. I take time to have face to face conversations with friends at least once a week. Some people might look at my quiet lifestyle here in the Gulf Islands as "oh my, that poor girl, she's all alone...she's 'stuck' in life", but really, it's the opposite. By removing myself from all the mental clutter of my previous, rushed city life, I forced myself to get acquainted with myself, to start asking myself hard, uncomfortable questions...left with no recourse other than to answer those questions honestly. Now those problems are gone, dealt with. What I discovered after doing this, (aside from those basic fundamentals I mentioned earlier), was that everything else in life is just 'unnecessary extras'....just fluff. Thanks for the piece on 'mind reading', I needed that. I've had a couple confusing experiences with neighbours playing games with me (after not getting something from me that they wanted mind you as I'm steadfast on my boundaries these days) that had me working out their motives in my mind. Stupid really, as I can't possibly know for sure what's going on in their mind....and most importantly, as you said, "It. Is. None. Of. My. Business". lol As always, thank you so much for all your life changing insight....it really helps me through my day to day journey :)

“There is no rescue boat coming, keep threading water, ride the wave to the shore, and save yourself.” I got off my ass and started to heal when I wrote this to myself. Blessings to all on their personal journey.
Brought some tears so it triggered something. I think I spent years waiting for someone to come and rescue me from life and make everything better. I finally realized I have to do that for myself. Spent a lot of wasted years😩 I do sometimes think others are thinking bad things about me or they don’t like me if I don’t hear from them for a while. I tend to jump to the worst conclusion which I know is ridiculous lol! Thanks for another great video. You’re wise beyond your years.❤️

I was & am quietly triggered. Whoever reads this is going to laugh hilariously, I have too. I use to think my life would be better out of the south by marrying a handsome Asian guy who is looking for a wife was going to take me to their hometown while I enjoyed him, his cooking, & make some babies. I'm starting to mature @ 27 & realized the guy might come from a southeast Asian country that disrespects women, he can change negatively, being female I would learn how to cook from his mom & be criticized while being told I'm never enough for her son, the possible kids will be possibly stressed by their father & possibly bullied for being mixed. I learned that is not the way I want my life, I should make my life & not jump into something regretful like my dad did w/my mom. I hope I'm on topic😬...

Yeah. You gotta look out for yourself. Make it your duty to make yourself happy, to learn the techniques to do so. Because unhappiness is just bad programming and you just need to learn new programming. Won't happen overnight but the journey itself will be part of the reward.
Valiable message! I actually have come to that conclusion. No one is necessary to keep me afloat...only God I walk with Him. My comfort always lies in praying and reading the Bible.
I LOVE that being HAPPY IS NOT A DESTINATION- IT IS A DECISION!!!
