Self Sabotage and Where Self Sabotaging Behaviours Come From

Recognizing Subconscious Sabotage

Self sabotaging behaviours are stored in our subconscious mind and interface with our brain that gives us the signals to behave in certain ways or attract other people to behave in ways that act as an exteria self sabotage. Our subconscious mind is very power indeed as our self sabotaging behaviours because they can crash and burn our goals and even our lives.

 When you learn how to recognize self sabotage and self sabotaging behaviours on the exteria, you still need to know how to deal with your subconscious mind. And to do that you need to learn a little more about how and why your subconscious works in this way.

 You see your subconscious mind has a ‘set point’ or ‘comfort plateau’ it likes to keep you safe in. It works in a similar fashion to a weightloss plateau. This set point or plateau get’s triggered every time you:

 1.    Start achieving successes you might not be used to; 

2.    When you get close to meeting your goals; or 

3.    As you begin to break free of some limiting pattern.

 The job of your subconscious mind is to keep you in a comfort zone so you are kept safe. When the above mentioned life events occur you enter what I call a danger zone because you are in danger of self sabotaging or distracting behaviours that will throw you off your course toward your dreams.

 It doesn’t matter what level of success you have gained or not, this comfort zone exists and the danger of self sabotaging behaviour patterns are alive and kicking in all of us. The difference between successful people and unsuccessful people is that successful people take control.

 I wrote a bigger post on ‘how to recognize you are in a subconscious danger zone of comfort’ and ‘what to do when your subconscious mind holds you back in your comfort zone’ you can read. You’ll find a great subconscious mind exercise there that will help you blast past that comfort zone while working in harmony with your subconscious mind’s job to keep you safe.
