Overcoming Self-Sabotage

1. Consider addressing any habit you’ve rated a 5 or above.

2. Once you see your patterns, make specific behavioral plans of what you’ll start doing instead.

3. Any behavior change plan you come up with needs a contextual trigger.

4. Aim to improve your habits (by say 1, 10, or 20 percent), rather than to eliminate all self-defeating behavior from your life.
