http://mindpersuasion.com/ If you're like most humans, you know the experience of messing up a good thing. Here's how to end it: http://mindpersuasion.com/emotional-freedom/

1. End Self Sabotage

2. When I was in high school we had to
take driver training.

3. We first had to practice in these
pretend cars in the classroom, and
then we practiced out on the street.

4. When we went out on the street, we
had an instructor and three students.

5. We would take turns driving, and the
instructor, in the passenger seat,
would have his own brake pedal.

6. He usually used it when I was driving,
especially around corners. I remember
once or twice I saw him grab the
armrest in anxiety.

7. Often times we humans tend to think
we are self-sabotaging ourselves.

8. We want to do something, we get
started, and everything's going fine.

9. But then we do something totally
idiotic, and ruin everything.

10. "Why do I always mess up a good
thing?"

11. You may ask yourself this from time to
time.

12. But consider this:

13. That part of you that's "messing up a
good thing," doesn't really think they
are messing up a good thing.

14. They are like that driving instructor.
Putting on the brakes because he or
she thinks you are going too fast.

15. Who told them to do that?

16. Well, you did!

17. Now, you probably don't remember it.
It probably happened subconsciously
when you were very young.

18. But in reality, that part of you that you
may refer to as "self-sabotage" isn't
messing you up.

19. That part of you is doing its best to
keep you safe.

20. See, what happens is we are kids, then
we grow up.

21. As we grow up, our conscious minds
change and adapt. We learn new
things, want new things, and get new
things.

22. But sometimes we fire off some old
triggers we don't know are there.

23. Those old triggers that think we're still
living in the world we lived in when we
were very young.

24. So, calling this "self-sabotage" isn't
really an accurate label.

25. It's more like having two captains of
your ship that have different ideas of
where you're going.

26. The adult, conscious part of you wants
to head out to deeper waters and look
for treasure.

27. The younger, subconscious part of you
wants to stay close to shore where it's
safe.

28. Sure, from an adult standpoint, your
subconscious is messing you up.

29. But guess what?

30. From a subconscious standpoint, YOU
are the one messing up!

31. You want to go out in the water where
it's dangerous! Where there are
monsters! Where you might sink!

32. It's like driving a ship with two
engines!

33. The good news is you can go back and
calmly explain to your subconscious
that it's OK to head out into deeper
waters.

34. That it's OK to not be able to see the
shore.

35. That there is TREASURE out there!

36. Once you're headed in the same
direction, it will be smooth sailing.
