Self-sabotage can be defined as the action through which you undermine your worth and goals. Even though you want something, you do actions that are contrary to achieving your target. There are mainly two types of self-sabotaging behaviors, as follows:

• conscious self-sabotage: you do the actions that will end up undermining your goals consciously.
• unconscious self-sabotage: you do actions that will end up undermining your goals without being aware of this.

Self-sabotage can appear in our lives under many shapes:

• procrastination: putting off what we should be doing now
• substance abuse: consuming alcohol and drug often leads to us not reaching our goals
• chronic lateness: this will usually result in you being perceived as a not so trustworthy person
• stress eating: we all know the end of this one- poor diet or even illness
• intimacy and commitment issues: the negative consequence refers to you ending up alone.
