0:00.0	You are listening to the Life Coach School Podcast with Brook Castillo episode number 223.
0:06.6	Welcome to the Life Coach School Podcast, where it's all about real clients, real problems, and real coaching.
0:16.0	And now your host, Master Coach Instructor, Brook Castillo.
0:21.0	Well hello there my friends. How are you guys?
0:27.5	Today is an amazing day. I know I always say that. I joined this entrepreneurial organization group.
0:37.5	And they make fun of how many times I say amazing, but it's okay because I'm amazing and life is amazing.
0:46.0	And it's okay to say amazing a lot of the time. So amazing. There you go, y'all.
0:52.0	Alright, today we are going to talk about self-sabotage.
0:56.5	And I see this up close with so many of my clients, my employees, my friends, and it's like a syndrome.
1:08.5	It's the craziest thing and people don't understand it, right? Because like, why am I sabotaging myself all of the time?
1:16.0	And the way I want you to think about self-sabotage is I want you to make sure that you're putting that in the A line of your model.

2:00.5	And it's a choice you're making on purpose so you can feel differently.
2:07.0	And just like any kind of buffering, just like anything that gets in our way of our fullest potential, there's a payoff in the short term that we're exchanging for the ultimate payoff in the long term.
2:20.5	So self-sabotage is defined as creating unnecessary problems for oneself interfering with your own goals.
2:32.0	I love that definition because you think about all these long term goals that you have for yourself. Those are all created in your prefrontal cortex.
2:43.5	Those are all created with the highest level of your humanity and your imagination and your creativity as a human being.
2:50.5	So one of the best things that we do as human beings is set goals.
