So next time you feel that hesitation or you hear that critical voice, I want you to remind yourself,

I am capable, I am worthy, God is with me, and I am moving forward because you are, no matter how small the step, every step counts.

Hey, hey, let's be honest here. Have you ever been this close to achieving a goal and wham? You suddenly find yourself doing the exact thing that ruins it. You're on a roll with healthy eating and suddenly

your elbow deep in a family size bag of chips. You're on track to finish a huge project and suddenly you're on a roll with healthy eating and suddenly your elbow deep in a family size bag of chips.

You're on track to finish a huge project and suddenly you're binge watching Netflix and

telling yourself one more episode won't hurt.

Welcome to the wonderful, messy world of self-sabotage, where we both are the hero and the villain

of our own story. And it's not just you, it's me too. We all do

this. The question is, why do we sabotage our own success? And more importantly, how do we stop?

So today, we're diving deep into the psychology behind self-sabotage and breaking down really

practical steps to get out of your own way.

This isn't about judgment or shame. It's about awareness, action, and breaking free.

And remember, God didn't create you to live stuck. He created you to thrive and to grow and to step

boldly into the life that he's called you to live. So let's do this. I know self-sabotage so well.

We're like old frenemies. I remember years ago, I decided I was going to start working out.

I was going to wake up early. And day one, I crushed it. Day two, I'm still going strong.

Day three, my alarm went off and my brain said, you've been working so hard. You deserve a break.

And before I knew it, I was hitting snooze, convincing myself that somehow more sleep was going to make me a better person.

Spoiler alert, it did not. So here's the thing. My goal was right there. But instead of grabbing it, I grabbed my excuses.

And that self-sabotage in action, it's that

sneaky little voice that makes you trade in what you want long-term for what feels good right now.

And I bet you've done it too. I mean, we've all done it. But the truth is, God is right here
