the hidden psychological force behind self-sabotage
a deep dive into the psychology of self-sabotage.
have you ever experienced how there’s this invisible string ruling your life?
every move you take seems to be controlled by something you can’t name.
consciously you keep repeating to yourself how you’ll never self-sabotage yourself again.
how you’re going to lock in. work on that business. work on that physique. yet somehow you never do.
many people do not realise this but there’s a deep-rooted reason for this.
a reason so hidden by most that it’s embarrassing how simple it actually is.
the thing with most people is…
they’ve got trapped in this narrative of self-improvement.
they scroll motivational content, they’ll read a few books, they’ll listen to podcasts.
mentally masturbating on self-education.
and actually believing that they're making progress.
but let me tell you one thing. self-education doesn’t directly correspond to progress.
as harsh as it sounds. self education is not enough to achieve the life that you desire.
you see… most people believe that if they just learn a little bit more.
just a few more pages of books.
just a few more minutes of podcasts.
just a few more reels or tiktoks that they’ll change their whole narrative on reality.
mentally masturbating on productivity hidden behind a mask of mediocrity.
don’t get me wrong. every human being should devour themselves in self-education.
but here’s the catch. just absorbing isn’t enough.
school teached you how to remember.
but they didn’t teach you how to actually learn.
at the end of the day… schools merely exist for the sole purpose of creating workers, not thinkers.
“I don’t want a nation of thinkers, I want a nation of workers.”
— John D. Rockefeller
but why do we self-sabotage ourselves?
up to 95% of daily behaviour is automatic, driven by subconscious patterns.
most of these subconscious patterns are already predetermined before even entering puberty.
childhood experiences create neural pathways that become lifelong patterns.
every time your mother told you how success isn’t for people like us…
every time your teacher told you that you’ll never achieve something in life.
every time your friends laughed at you for chasing your dreams…
all these experiences slowly sank into your subconscious mind.
slowly bending your patterns.
you see… it literally takes one singular experience. one singular trauma.
to change your whole worldview on reality.
and the more we grow up, the more we learn to recreate these painful patterns.
not because this is the truth.
but because our subconscious mind seeks familiarity over happiness, trying to resolve mediocre childhood experiences.
so what happens is…
instead of healing.
you start to experience guilt. you try to numb the pain through bad habits. start to feel guilty again and the cycle repeats itself.
so how do we actually heal ourselves from self-sabotage?
sit with the guilt for a moment.
get rid of all distractions.
notice physical sensations and which type of guilt is speaking.
question yourself what “shoulds” is your guilt highlighting?
what action is the guilt trying to guide you into?
if there is only judgement with no proactive answer, it’s self-destruction.
realise that there is self-destruction going on.
instead of running away from the pain, use that pain to build the life that you desire.
that’s the hidden psychological force behind self-sabotage.
stay schemin.
escape, a85.
and by the way… do you want to learn the secrets of reality transurfing and bending reality to your favour?
i’ve paid a spiritual teacher over $1000 just so he leaks all of his secrets.
it’s not mental masturbation. but universal secrets that actually work.
figure it out and change your life forever.
