"Don't see the self-sabotage as a negative thing, see it as an inner voice waiting to be heard"
I know, right? That gave me chills.
That was weird. Emotional upset indicates you might not be doing something in alignment with your true "inner" calling and you need course correction. Freaking out isn't self sabotage..... its just embarrassing.
LOOK AT HIS HAND SIGNS,PIECE OF SHIT RB.
The pastor at one of my churches I used to goto because it was fun an I was looking for a boyfriend and the univers said if you want something you've never had you have Todo something you've never done.
Said that's His talking to you.
I quite like that
Yes, I had never thought about it that way before...wow
The book on addiction is incredible. Helped me quit smoking. Highly recommended! ♡
What book is that?

I have a bipolar person in my life and I am witness to self sabotage. Russel my man, I have learned something every single time I have watched your videos, 4 total so far so don’t get too excited. Seriously, I very much enjoy your work and it is helping me every day with personal and interpersonal relationships. Thank you.
We all need to practice self-love! Loving and accepting yourself will make it so that you treat yourself much better and won't tolerate negativity from yourself or others. Choose to love who you are!
You are a beautiful person inside and out!
You have a humble spirit, while knowing who you are and what you have to give.
I have watched you change over time and you have evolved so nicely and I adore you and your wisdom that you share. Thank you!
A person who has experienced abandonment may be more likely to have long-term mental health issues. ... These fears could make a person prone to anxiety, depression, codependence, or other issues. Abandonment issues are also linked to borderline personality (BPD) and attachment anxiety.
You just gave me a life transformational idea , you are my mentor if you dint know that I have been following your talks .you are one of the wise person I look up to download that wisdom and knowledge that you have been spreading
Totally agree about how we have to raise our self awareness so that we can switch our actions when we notice that we are going to sabotage ourselves.
I've always loved listening to Russel talk but even more so since he has become more spiritual.
Just what I needed this morning ❤️ thank you
Hey Russell... I appreciate you and your words of recommendation and inspiration and yet I still struggle. I’ve decided it’s time seek some professional assistance again. My self defeating behaviors annoy me to no end. Thx again, however, for addressing such a common problem in us. It was a fresh perspective 🙂
Self Sabotage is my #1 problem in life. I’ve literally done shit on purpose just to get someone else to NOT like me.
Thank you Russell 🤗🙏🏽✨
🤓 sometimes you just have to hear someone who cares honestly telling you their truth is helpful. Taking the advice is altogether up to the listener to take it on.
However I hear you.🤓
Being a self saboteur master yep that’s me you hit the nail on the head on that brother
This is so spot on thanks Russel
Yes ! Amen thank you
Crying in shower heard this not crying now
Being addicted to that feeling of being ‘flooded by madness’ and chaos is so relatable you put that in such a relatable way
Feeling flooded by rage can be a sign of being triggered in the present by an unmet need or traumatic incident of abuse or negligence from the past.
100% agree. In my darkest times I could feel myself losing grip on the better parts of myself and would revel in giving up control to my shadow self. I would enjoy the chaos that it caused, while it happened, only to feel deep shame and regret after I had “come back.” It’s nice knowing I’m not the only one to have felt this way before.
@@chrish3556 Can't you see what a self-centred bell-end this geezer is? Loving the sound of his mockney tones as he drones endlessly on covering non-topics. I suggest you go for a long walk, stop pitying yourself and get on with life.
dpurcell5 I didn’t like him decade+ ago when he was in his ”centre of attention” mode - but here I get the impression he has matured greatly, genuinely openly sharing and “talking my language” (concept-wise, exact phraseology and accent being entirely immaterial). Pleasant surprise!
dpurcell5 - shut up you dick. That’s just YOUR personal interpretation of his dialogue and YOUR opinion. I’ll bet even your wife doesn’t give 2 fux what you think so why would anyone else?
Wow.....sorry I just gave in to my dark side and succumbed willingly to the rage I felt at your dumb ass rant. My bad.
Understand self-sabotage.
Recognize self-sabotaging habits.
Identify root causes.
Take time for self-reflection.
Find your inner positive voice.
Change your pattern of behavior.
Make small, meaningful changes.
Set goals and make plans.
Treat yourself the way you want to be treated.

Camila Landi me too 💜💜💜
Mental illness is a real thing :( . I have ruined everything I have ever done I think stemming from never believing in myself . Now I enjoy the outdoors and go on long distance hikes . Very hard and challenging , summer of 2017 I went to Colorado to see some mountains and ended up hiking 500 miles through a lot of misfortune and mishaps . I met the most amazing people that helped me in the most crucial times .
Love this Eli are u on face book man ?
Get a job
Lucky you.
I went out last summer, fell in love with the place. I hiked up mt elbert and slept and travelled in a van for 10 days driving through colorado, utah, arizona and new Mexico. The US is a beautiful country.
Eli Dskills Stay strong bro.
Sometimes I listen to you because I’m genuinely interested in topics, other times the content becomes secondary to the melody of your language. I can’t help it.

Brian, if you’re looking for a tiff you came to the wrong place hunny
One of my favorite lyrics comes from "Africa" by Toto: " I seek to cure what's deep inside (then in a separate voice) frightened by this thing that I've become"
'Russell Brand reminded me of a Toto song.' Bet that's the first AND last time that ever happens.
Seeking outside approval and living after people's expectations makes the doubt to creep forward -- self-sabotaging becomes an escape
“Makes the doubt to cripple forward”? 🤨
@@AxeKick80 thanks
If you're doing that you're full of doubt
I agree with you.. I believe in me but I am surrounded by people who expect more and I am always wanting their approval but never get it.. Which makes me believe in myself less which leads to self sabotage..
@@MrMrutube1987 My personal take on this topic is that self sabotage is inherently intrinsic. Typing that out makes it sound obvious but as the OP stated, we often times perceive external expectations as the initiating sequence of our inevitable downfall. This formula is skewed because the beginning is always us(you). Everything you experience is through your lens and nobody else's. External influence is there but at the end of the day, you are the ONLY experience of your life. Self sabotage is the reluctance to accept responsibility of such a daunting concept. Success is infinitely more frightening and infinitely more foreign of a environment than failure. The current human psyche prioritizes comfortability over anything else and unfortunately alot of us are simply more comfortable in failure than success. Accepting responsibility over ones life is accepting a life of uncomfortableness, and this journey always starts from within.
Self-sabotaging is exactly what you said: mostly self-esteem, purpose and relationship issues
So glad I'm seeing this video, I've turned away from so many good things and opportunities due to self sabotaging. It's definitely a habit I want to break, now that I'm realizing what it is I believe I can overcome it. Lately I've been talking to myself when I sense a path of self destruction coming along to get out of that mindset.

The reason for doing something is love, bc love lasts. Bc God is forever.
Thank you so much for this❤
Love the advice Russell! Agree that the principles of what it means to be spiritual (love and kindness) is an essential aspect of being human.
It is interesting that he became "successful" even during his self-sabotaging ara.
He's had problems with relationships and drugs for basically all of his career. Rich people can have emotional problems aswell dude.
That's a good point. One which suggests that 'self-sabotage' does not always lead to general 'failure' or lack of success. I can't speak for Russell Brand, but as someone who studies these dynamics (e.g. motivation and procrastination) but has stopped using the term 'self-sabotage, I can say that quite often people achieve what appears to be outward objective success but feel internally, subjectively like they've failed. Take the photo shoot example, while he was seen as successful by the world the next day, the next day he felt bad, felt he'd blown it, regardless of how much money he had or what the next gig was. Failure, like success, is a feeling as much as an external attainment. Also, one can feel unworthy of one's success, and in fact, if one feels unworthy as a person, one can feel MORE unworthy of fanfare, success, admiration--it all feels false, a reflection of something one is not (or at least feels they are not) and so create more distress. I would offer a different interpretation of the photo shoot. Perhaps he is, instead, testing these people, the magazine, etc. Will they value him even if he doesn't do this thing? Will they value and stick with him--see him as worthy--enough to change the schedule for him? If we feel we are unworthy in others' eyes we are likely to try to test that through our actions to see if these people's caring can be trusted, by testing the relationships of those around us. The aim, in my view, is not sabotage, but that is easily the result when we put our achievements in jeopardy repeatedly. Act this way enough times, and even a star will be rejected--thus affirming the fear that one was not worthy or lovable. There is a lot of wisdom in this short video, great insight into human motivation that is corroborated by contemporary psychological research.
Nic Voge may I ask you a question
@Brian Cooley would you be happy if you had millions but were an absolute failure in every other aspect of your life? Being constantly drunk, high, obnoxious, rude and just a general dick to everyone?
Get off your high horse, when you're a millionaire you can tell us how wonderful it is.
@Brian Cooley lol...If I could take off 20 years it would be a fun time.
This is divinely received, appreciate your wisdom brozay.
I have a “chicken or the egg” situation when I self-sabotage. People seem to begin not to like me, then it’s as if I play up to that. I prove they’re right and I’m not to be liked. But that’s my comfortable place.
I've done a similar thing in the past lol,
hmm, these folks don't like me anymore huh, I'll give`em something to dislike,
at other times it's much more subtle & I don't realise I'm doing it, it's kinda like watching a slow car crash unfolding & you can't do anything but watch yourself micro self destruct those relationships lol
"Almost everything in life is more important than being in magazines." - choice words
This is such a great topic! We really have to be aware of our negative thoughts and step away from them!! Once we are aware of them instead of just being in them and allowing them to take over, then WE ARE IN CONTROL! Love your tips too !
Russell you are very,very smart. Thank you for teaching us and sharing your knowledge. Russell I honestly learn something new everytime you upload a video. I wish you could teach us about everyday life and how go become bigger than we have allowed ourselves to be. Thank you Russell your a great teacher as well as a friend!! 🤗💖😘♥️😊💝
Mary Scott,His the best 🙏🏻🙏🏻🤙
I feel like that "thing" that Russell talks about that causes many of us to self-sabotage is actually *ego.* I've been reflecting a lot and trying to be more aware and awake, and I've started to see how much my ego influences me to make the dumbest and most petty of decisions toward my loved ones, my friends, strangers and most importantly myself.
Ego is like this nebulous, amorphous ever-changing cloud that can disguise itself in so many different masks. Sometimes that mask is aggression and anger, and sometimes that mask is understated arrogance disguised as "understanding" and white little lies. Ego is insidious, but the more I've been committed to *seeing* it, as Russell so emphasizes, the easier it is to resist and make better decisions because I'm understanding the root cause of why my ego influences me to make certain decisions.
We all have a "program" exactly! (it's just that most people aren't aware of it as it's in their subconscious ;)
I like when you say “we”
Suzanna 2014 so do I...so “we” do
Appreciate you taking the time to enlighten
“A person is, among all else, a material thing, easily torn and not easily mended.” “It wasn't only wickedness and scheming that made people unhappy, it was confusion and misunderstanding; above all, it was the
failure to grasp the simple truth that other people are as real as you.”
It is fascinating, how naturally he articulates! I swoon...
@@TheBlocklandPlayer You will be able to articulate like he does if you too spend as much time reading the works of eastern thinkers and gurus like he does. I personally read the works of Christian thinkers and apologists and most of all I read the Bible. There is a world of wisdom in there, it’s amazing! So I like to go to the source of all wisdom and of love. Love teaches me a lot about myself and about others naturally without using much effort, without using philosophical ideas and big, sophisticated words because God is simple but profound. I’ve come to realize that the harder people try to analyze the human soul the more it doesn’t make sense...
@@margokupelian344 That's what’s up.
In 6 minutes he summed up and communicated what every self-help book and long-winded seminars have been trying to do for the past 10 years. Such a strong message and straight to the point.
It's a beautiful thing to become self-aware and see your own toxicity when it rears it's head. Once you know this is a flaw in us you can work on it. I myself am often over-critical of others and have expectations that I am learning are too high... I'm still trying to get better at not judging others or myself. Acceptance and understanding I think are key.
Actually like the use of the word foul here!
Thank you so much for this. I really appreciate someone describing my own self-sabotaging behaviors especially when that person has broken free of acting on them. My self-sabotaging is about denying myself the opportunity to engage in the creative things I love to do and replacing them with love affairs. Russell you've help me to see I don't have to beat myself up for having this damaging behavior/energy in me. I always felt like such a loser for being self-sabotaging. I'm about to give myself the opportunity to engage in creative outlets once more. Maybe once I've allowed creativity back into my life I can also allow myself a meaningful, healthy romance.
I really need my last name not to become Sabotage but believe me I’ve thought about this.🤘🤞✌️30 today🤘🤞✌️

Happy bbbbirthday!

When I started working early in my career I though we, as a people, were naturally progressing. Collectively working toward a better more responsible government, cleaner production plants, peace on earth, etc. Now I realize, that's all propaganda. My kids will likely have a shorter life span, will never know peace, will continuously be dealing with chemical spills and poisoned water, they're more likely to be working 50 hours a week and not making ends meet than they are to work 30 hours a week with security. We are going backwards in this world. Still fighting imperialism as we were a 1000 years ago.
I mean the planet is fucked yeah but world hunger has reduced significantly and this is the most peaceful time ever.
@@zeldazoned The most peaceful time for who? Middle class Americans? There haven't been so many millions of war displaced people since ww2, when Hitler was on the loose. We have over 2 million in jail in our own country mostly for drug charges. Last 3 years our life expectancy has dropped. Healthcare costs are ever increasing along with student debt and home ownership is now classified as everyone with a mortgage. Even though we all know another 2008 is coming, if it hasnt started already over the last 2 week market slump, meaning there will eventually be mass job loss again, pay cuts and thus foreclosures. Foreclosures that the banks have lobbied to be covered by taxpayers. Meaning FHA loans, the most common home loans, the banks get paid in full whether it forecloses or not. So prices just keep going up because there is no risk and they are making a killing in the process. ruclips.net/video/wJtfWZGxnGI/видео.html
This will depress you, but if you want the truth give it a look.
Yes, it HAS been traumatic for so many, and I would not minimize your suffering; and I swear to you our children have the world at their feet, we will guarantee it be so; I only say to you to PUT IT BEHIND (*it being the despair; there’s a lot that’s been hid; we must learn from what has happened but we are NOT to wear it like a cross `Step down from the cross, we could use the wood! #LOL) If we are too bound up, full of an idea or ideas- we leave no room for something to come in; we have to let some ideas go to make room for new ones. This is what has to happen for those suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome; they are so full of hate for him that they cannot remember where is their love for their country and fellow man…it is heartbreaking to watch the vitriol and to feel the hatred in their hearts, but we have to brush that aside and realize they are trapped in their illusion; we can only reach our hand to pull them out; it is their task to grasp it. We must decide to make a sufficient cut to certain ideals of the past at this time; wasn’t that the transversal when we dissected a frog? Slice the underbelly open wide; have the hardiest peer inside & all decide on the path of least resistance sounds mighty wide to me; out we go, off we go to what’s next to know. We’re getting into the intensity section of understanding; look how far we’ve come with microscopes…analyzing everything around us. What we’re forgetting to analyze is that most important thing-ourselves, Yet we feel qualified to sit and pass judgement upon others around us, as if we were the authority on (name the “offense”) Examine ourselves for weakness; support our Brothers and Sisters in their own Paths To Ascension; this should be a given in our geometry proof. Right now, we have the most amazing opportunity; it is an absolute glorious time to be alive, and we are blessed to be both cognizant and capable of accomplishing whatever is required of us. Let us all, at the very least, reach for competency. For pure will, unassuaged of purpose, delivered from the lust of result, is in every way perfect. 93s
Lovely video again.., very thankful for your insights and words.
I come from a narsistic mother childhood... and work on it everyday.
Cptsd is a daily job ( not sure🧐 about my spelling / in dutch.😬😬)
All doing it carefully step by step💕💪🙏👌🏻
I totally agree. My husband died and I am doing all I can do not to numb myself by sabotaging myself. It's hard, but thanks to my own spiritual belief I have to live life day by day. Appreciate all your videos. You are paying it forward 🙏🌹♥️
Thanks Russel. The programme I use is called 'Steps To Knowledge' and has really helped me. I'm an advocate for this mysterious book as it has given me so much and I hope that others that need it will find it.
Same here! Beautifully written "practical spirituality" and self-knowledge practice
Long time student of the Steps. I wouldn't be anywhere close to where I am without it. The direction, motivation and concentration that it helps you find are invaluable.
Good video. Getting off the booze helped me to stop self-sabotaging. Self-esteem, purpose, behavioural and relationship issues all fell l into place when I removed alcohol from my daily programme.
Jamie Cox congratulations. You have the victory. I’m proud of you. You are a survivor
My wife does it for me , she’s perfect she tells me all my bad points every day
I hope you’re not being serious lol
Russell Brand: "I watch my thinking". I'd like to suggest that you adopt the method of "the Self observing the Self, observing the Self" to eliminate self-sabotage. This is the only method that has helped me cut to the chase.
Once we have self love and understand we deserve we can stop self sabotage
I’m dealing with self sabotage right now. That’s all I ever do is sabotage everything. It gets me so down but hearing this I relate to it all so much. I’m on it now and I won’t let it beat me or hold me back anymore. Thank you x
You are not alone.
I don't agree with everything but that last little bit about that voice of self sabotage being something to listen to for its wisdom definitely piques my interest
"Break your vow to mediocrity" that hit home. Thanks mate.
So much gratitude for your words of wisdom Russell
Love and infinite blessings to you xx
I used to think he was just a funny guy, nice enough. Now I think he's funny (clearly) but I am in awe of the man's intellectualism, and emotional maturity.
He's a true gem.
Finding a Mentor....I found one. Whenever I listen to you, I feel enlightened and better than before. It makes me think about certain things and at the same time your openness is inspiring. Much love from Germany!
What about traumatic experiences? How to deal with them? They go so deep. 💜🌌
Thanks Russell! I can relate to this so much. It's hard to admit your struggling and need help. I've self-sabotaged my whole life. Always talking myself out of everything. Now I'm here, admitting I have a problem and ready to break the negative patterns on my spiritual journey to enlightenment.
I love the fact that you said u take yourself out of everything cuz that’s what I do
You are a beautiful and brilliant “enlightened” being. So very enjoyable to listen to and learn from. Thank you Russell
I have self sabotaged to the point of losing nearly everything
Feel the same way....it sucks to realize to late that it was me, not everyone else.
@indigosigh You're right. Everything was and more importantly is myself. I was rather incomplete in my first comment. An event in my life caused me to start smoking cannabis from a young age. It stayed with me and shaped my life for many years. I lost everything that was myself over the years. Sometimes I appeared as if like a spectre in a mist, or a shadow in light, but then I faded away to be replaced by the driving force of addiction. I never nearly lost everything.. More like I was never present for nearly everything. This event caused many instances of self sabotage over the years. My subconscious would deliberately drive me to behave in a way that was destructive to any state of prosperity.
I have ruined many good things in my life because of this pattern of behaviour. I have finally stopped the substance abuse. I will never go back to it, but much has been paid in terms of life lost already. I lost myself. I was trapped in myself. I was driven by impulse and addiction. It nearly made me lose touch with myself completely. Lose touch with feelings, emotions, and most importantly love. To point of nearly losing everything..
i routinely self sabotage because all i ever knew and grew up with was chaos...i hate order and things becoming better because at the back of my head all I'm thinking about is it's all gonna be taken away or it's all too good to be true...
Loved your book “recovery”, very moving conclusion btw. Loved your Commune course as well. Thank you 🌞
Where can I get a copy. I work with teens in a group home and they're all on drugs or alcohol. Our drug & alcohol class once a week is of no help. Thank you dear soul💗
Kimberly Cox got mine on Audible so I could listen to the big guy. It would be very useful for you.🌞

Thanks for the info Niall, how much did you pay if you don't mind my asking..?
Sydneytowngirl €9.99
Niall Martin Never thought about audible! Have to check it out.
I need you in my daily life. I need help mentally and its very hard to break out of the darkness inside of my OWN shell. Just getting out of bed to get on my computer is a challenge and I hate it.
I was doing so well during this pandemic but fell off and into a darker no motivated place because 1) my absolute inability to sleep and 2) this guy who I thought was a sure thing ghosted the hell out of me.. and that crushed me a tad. Maybe he just died of coronavirus, it does hit men harder than women.
Xx xX relatable. I’ve had real good times and some crappy times during this pandemic. Insomnia check seeking external validation check. Definitely re-listen to this I will be. I’m finally dating again after like a 20 year hiatus maybe 15, something like that. And I keep reminding myself of one thing: I don’t want to be with anybody who doesn’t wanna be with me. And I just wanna date around to find I don’t know the one. Although I don’t really believe in the one but it’s the best way to put it. Takes a lot of the pressure off. Just. I mean you could be right; he could be dead. Or if not he ain’t worth it. You got to love yourself first.
Felicia Dixon - I had my life ruined by people seeking external validation, and then not being able to handle the rejection, these people are so toxic so I’m glad you moved on from that.
Just started therapy cause honestly I can't handle me by myself. What you said about not trusting others and having doubts about myself, that is so me
Love you man! Thanks for the advice!

Looking rather attractive today, Mr Brand 👍
Whatever you're doing, keep doing it 😉
If anyone really wants to get into what he is saying then read "Awakening your lifes purpose - Eckhart Tolle" Everything Russell is talking about in this video is discussed more thoroughly in this book.
The "creating surfaces around yourself that are bearing the sheen of you inner adulation" is the most brilliant and practical way I've ever heard anyone describe Karma. Thank you for the insight!
Oh the synchronicity, this is the video I need right now, thank you 🙏 My journey seems to always be 2 steps forward and 1 step back. Which I’m okay with as long as I’m moving forward eventually. I used to think that one day if I worked hard I’d figure it all out and never have problems again but unfortunately that’s not life at least not for me. I’m grateful for the mistakes I make because they are a lesson that will help me take another step forward. 💛💛💛

Thank you Russell. I really needed to hear that message. My life is completely turned upside down . .I know it could be worse but I lost my girlfriend due to self sabotage and my esteem is low. It's like a bad spiral to not keep the sabotage going.. I do have a therapist who I meet weekly over Zoom while were social distancing ..I am moving into my own place and out of hers.. everything feels like I created my own shit storm and not sure I won't do it again.. I'm resilient but this one hurt.. this loss feels devastating. If you're reading this thanks for you video and I just bought your book Recovery too. ❤️✊🏿
Face your deepest fears my friend
"Almost everything in life is more important than being in magazines!" Absolute gold, love what you do and that line really made me laugh!
He is so personable! Comes across like he’s right in your room!
Yes! Learning to recognize, feel, and transform the wave of madness. I would love to watch or hear yourself and Jim Carrey talking about awakening, moderated by Keanu. What a grand stage to be uncomfortable on. Bravery at it's best. Many thanks for your sharing!!!

*Each new day gives us an opportunity to make the right choices on the path do a better self. Will you make the right choices today?*
Every day you choose to not give up you've made the right choice
Agreed, but i also think it's important for folks to remember that if they fuck up,
& make a bad decision, it's not the end of the world, striving for perfection is an ideal, but we learn from our mistakes along the journey.
Sometimes, when things go wrong, particularly in recovery, we reach for something to make us feel better, that cloaks us in security, or we get overwhelmed by having to make amends for our previous behaviour,
we need to remember that we can stumble & recorrect, & it's ok,
far better to do that than set yourself up to fail & go down the same old self destructive path because going into the unknown realm of recovery is scary.
So whilst failure/bad choices is often seen as a negative, it doesn't define you - where there is life - there is hope.
This brought me to tears. I will utilize this with my whole being ❤️

I'm not assertive....I am learning how to better say no..
This is due to a initial childhood ttrama, with my dad... that is the thing I lost immediately. Like an inner strength.. I either go all out 1 way or another...no in-between.
Narcdaily, on RUclips, has been amazing at getting me to understand its OK to say No! My no, means yes to me...I ❤ this idea, which clicks with me...I do get tired of being the fall to guy... I don't want to do most things others /most want to do....they get mad at me for it....
One time my friend tricked me to getting on the witches grave, and Stand there...they said... hell noooooo
Yeah, they got me good that night.... they rushed me in the back seat of the car and threw me over their shoulder, and everyone held arms across me, I couldn't escape...I did try...OMG I still get chill bumps...my friends name is James Brown, Amy Duman, Christiana Rumsey....those bitches
We still going strong in love...but I bet I never get put into that position again...I have respect for the deD damn it!😂😂😂 leave them alone
I THINK I NEED DMT CEREMONY
If there was a movie about me my first choice was Jim Carrey but now I have people saying Russell Brand would be playing me
Thanks so much Russell, I love hearing from you. Smile today my friend.
I watched this and then got in the shower. As I got in to the shower I was self conscious of my belly. (I’ve gained 8 lbs in the last couple months). I thought, “If Kevin (my husband) comes in here, I'm going to cover my belly up and tell him not to look at me.” Which is what I've been doing lately. Putting myself down with the comments I make about myself bc I've been feeling insecure. So then I thought, “Well, my body has a Consciousness of its own. Maybe it doesn't feel like I do (emotions) but it definitely will react cellular to what I think. The cells will automatically adjust to that vibration that the thought puts out.” So I'm like, “Well, me feeling shame about how my body looks and wanting to cover it up so it's not seen must not be what I should be doing. Try something else.” Right? So I start thinking of affirmations but they were still along the lines of not where I want it to be. Ok but not good enough. I can't remember what exactly they were so I was like, “You are Still putting your body down.” So then I went general and I had my eyes closed and I said,"I Am Beautiful." Loving it as it is right now. With no attachments. And guess what!! It felt like my whole body was a living flowering bush of roses and pretty flowers. I could feel them opening and see in my minds eye how that thought and the vibration it carried with it, triggered them to open up and start blooming all over the place. Isn't that neat!?!
I laughed at what you said about the word “foul”! I hate that word and was thinking the same thing. Great talk!

I find I self sabotage because I fear losing everything IF I get all the good things I long for. Not wrong things, just happiness and good relationships and a tidy house.
I’ll be so happy and then Wham, some outside force comes and takes it all away.
Just what I need right now!
👌👊
self sabotage is being nice too nice, the reality is self suicide on a very long scale!
obviously people don’t have the guts too pull the trigger so they do it very very VERY slowly
Smoker’s are doing the same thing with every cigarette, and so are many other addicts.
Pretty much todays society is-so competitive. In every aspect, from the way we look, too the company we surround ourselves. Partners need too meet a long check list.
All this stems from two places..the mirror at home and the phone screen..living in comparison! people need too step out of living materialistic and enter spirituality! like this, you can embrace ageing and all other things that don’t meet your happiness criteria
God will only give us what we feel worthy of.... My son says I D best with only a back, and I may be going back to that. Had my own apartment for 2 years now and people don't realize what a big deal that is. We are creators and although addiction plays a big role,I got no one to blame but myself.. God bless anyone reading this because I would much rather give than receive.

Today MY KINDNESS AND LOVE rises/awakes again.
Maybe sit and be quite for sometime every day. To allow. Just be no pressure not meditating. Fulfilment is from inner Not outer.
I ask for another video on this topic, I suffer from years of self sabotage and destruction in the form of addiction, lying etc etc. I have been working deeply on confronting my inner traumas and demons that I have become a master of disguising. After watching this, plus several other talks on self sabotage, I find the my biggest issue isn't addressed commonly, which is guilt. I find the guilt of even knowing your better than how you ate acting OR the guilt that comes from imposter syndrome (E.G. she loves me because she doesn't knowI will inevitably break her heart and that I am not the person she knows and loves.) I find this to be the biggest challenge to overcome, as my impulse is to blind my loved ones of my pain , and throw my guilt in the bin rather than addressing its roots. I'd love to hear someone's opinions on this.
I have this "weird" philosophy that has allowed me to succeed in recent years in university after taking forever to get to this point, I try for Bs, this drives some of my more academic friends nuts but there is a logic to it. When you don't obsess over being perfect (in this case "A"s) not only do actually get more out of what you doing, such as learning the subject better, but you also come closer to reaching perfection naturally...that is to say, I have actually gotten so many "A's since I stopped trying so hard to get them.
Why the hell did my girlfriend have me watch a self help video from a B level actor that could barely hold his shit together back in the day? Oh and now he is an expert I better listen to the rich people's way of dealing with problems. "Make money off less fortunate people"
I have often been told that I cut my nose off to spite my face, another way of saying that I self sabotage. It's true, lack of faith in myself leads me to self destruct before anyone else can take me down. At least by understanding this and acknowledging this fact, I am in a much better place prior to rehab. It's a long process to get treated but at least I have a better understanding of why I am the way I am now. Self loathing is thought of as, woe is me. That's bullshit. When you hate yourself to the point of suicide, what others think is secondary to the way that you hate yourself. It's not about sympathy. It's about understanding. Until you can rationalise, you can only emphasise. The mind of an addict only undermines the good others see to further fuel the self hate one feels. Once you become numb to pain, you are your own worse enemy and only hear what you want to hear. Dissecting a compliment to the point where it becomes an insult. No news is good news and good news is a lie.
