In this video, we're going to talk about why we self sabotage. And, more importantly, how to stop self sabotaging. Self sabotage is a behavior that we do on a regular basis without realizing it. It's usually a result of negative thoughts that we keep hidden from ourselves. And, as you'll see in this video, it can have a negative impact on our lives and our relationships.

So why don't we talk about these negative thoughts? Because, if we can start to talk about them, we can start to change them. And that's why this video is so important. By learning about the reasons why we self sabotage, we can start to change our behavior and live our lives to the fullest.
