How To Stop Self-Sabotaging

I've started so many self help books and never finished them. This one I couldn't put down. The exercises are uncomfortable in the best way. I actually understand why I keep getting in my own way now and I've already started catching myself before I spiral. Worth every penny.

I've never been someone who journals but this book made it feel natural. The way it's written doesn't feel like a textbook, it feels like someone who's actually been through it talking to you straight. The sabotage loop section alone changed how I see half the decisions I've been making.

I saw someone post their sabotage type on TikTok and had to find out what mine was. Bought the journal that same night. I'm "The Returner" and reading that section felt like someone wrote it about my life specifically. I'm only halfway through and I already feel like a different person.

Not going to lie I was embarrassed buying a self help journal as a grown man. But this book called out things I've been doing for years that I never connected to self sabotage. The career section especially. I've been "about to start something" for three years and this showed me exactly why I keep stalling. Currently on week two of actually building it.

I bought the anxious attachment book last year and it changed my life so I grabbed this the second it came out. It's a completely different level. The exercises are harder and more honest. I've done more real inner work in three weeks with this than six months of journaling on my own. Eye Mind Spirit don't miss.

I keep coming back to the section about the stories we tell ourselves. I didn't realise how much of what I thought was "just my personality" was actually patterns I picked up as a kid. This journal doesn't let you hide from yourself. It's uncomfortable but it's the kind of uncomfortable that actually leads somewhere. Already bought one for my best friend.
