Here are 4 signs that self-sabotage might be at play:

You set goals but rarely follow through

You focus more on your flaws than your strengths

You keep ending up in unhealthy patterns

You avoid opportunities for growth

Recognizing the pattern is the first step to changing it.

Sometimes, we fear success just as much as we fear failure.

Why?
Because success can bring change, visibility, pressure—and for some, that feels unsafe.

Self-sabotage becomes a way to protect ourselves from the unknown. But we deserve more than survival—we deserve to thrive.

💬 What has fear of success looked like for you?

You Can Break the Pattern

You are not stuck—you’re just in a pattern that once helped you cope.

Self-sabotage is learned. Which means it can be unlearned.

Every small step you take—journaling, setting boundaries, showing up even when it’s hard—is a win.

You’re doing the work, and that matters.

You don’t have to leap your way out of self-sabotage.

Sometimes it’s one deep breath.
Sometimes it’s rewriting a negative thought.
Sometimes it’s sending one email, even if you’re scared.

Progress is progress—no matter how small.
