  • Wrecking your own potential success is not just a harmless byproduct of low self-esteem. Self-sabotage can take a huge toll on your relationships, health, finances, and career. Are you curious if you or someone you know may be self-sabotaging themselves? If so, we made this video to help identify with some of those signs. To solve anything, you must get to the root or a problem.
    If you relate to this video and want to learn more about the habits of a destructive person, we have a video on that too: • 7 Habits Of A Self Des...

      Whether artist or tech' (I'm a man of many hats)... I learned most of it the same way. I screwed up crap and destroyed projects and equipment until I figured out how to do stuff properly. Some of it had good information available in books, and sometimes I got good instruction from mentors. Experience is still directly correlated to the amount of stuff rendered to ruination.
      I'm not going to tell you not to replay missteps in your head. We should reflect on the details of how and when or where things went sideways. It's how our failures teach us more than our successes. I WILL tell you that I've screwed up more than I've gotten done right, and that I'm still screwing things up from time to time. That's perfectly normal.
      Reflect, learn, and then understand that it's JUST a mistake and means nothing. It's only an experience that taught you something (hopefully) or refined something that earlier mistakes had led up to. Then move on to either try it again, go back and fix it as applicable and appropriate, or get into the next project.
      In art, we say, "screw up the first one... study it... do it again... screw it up just a little better... study it... do it again... and repeat until you're happy with the results."
      There are even artists who advise you to "screw it up faster so you can improve easier"...
      The bottom line is, being human, it's normal to screw stuff up. There's no need to put yourself down because of it. AND the only true form of failure is to quit. I've even gone back to build a project after I've been told it was no longer my project. I did that JUST so I could apply what I'd learned in the fails... and to find out if I COULD finally finish the thing. ;o)

      It should get you to Ethan Becker's channel and "How to Draw Better Faster". It's a fun little vid' and he's a little "dry" in his humor, but amusing while he really shows how to go back to examine the work done with an interest in improving for work TO BE done.
      I've found it helps to have someone tell you (even in video) that it's okay to not be perfect... In fact, to encourage you to be imperfect and just keep going.

    I have come to realise that I've mixed being realistic with being pessimistic. It is not that I want to view everything negatively. It is just that I get let down when I think optimistically. And somehow that feels worse than always thinking negatively. That sinking feeling in your gut when happiness fades😣. There seems to always be a catch. And that's why it somehow feels easier to see it pessimiscally, and be disappointed but not surprised.

      U see, it’s nice to inform urself on things, but it’s nowhere as powerful as EXPERIENCING it urself. I’m not encouraging u to always be like this, but at this moment, this shitty moment that ur having, ur meant to go through it. But, I also want to add this...take responsibility for whatever action ur taking. This doesn’t mean that u should look down on urself the fact that ur not productive, but I’m just saying...don’t be like blaming urself for not getting anywhere bc if ur sabotaging urself or whatever other negative actions ur taking is brining u down, well that is what it is supposed to do. But by sabotaging urself, u might discover the reason why u do it in the first place and without the sabotaging u might hv never discovered it. Does this make sense?
      Everyone has different circumstances. There’s no competition here unless YOU make it. So, don’t do it when it comes to loving urself and being ok where u r. Your job is to make the best out of YOUR unique circumstance. And hey, I might not be in your shoes, but I just want to say that u WILL get out of this even if it doesn’t look like it, but u will.

    As someone apparently swimming in all of these on a daily basis, I have one recommendation: routine de-cluttering.
    I've recently selected the last Sunday of every month to clean the house in the morning, and do my finances in the afternoon (i.e. log that month's transactions in a spreadsheet).
    3 months in and this is absolutely working for me. The house is cleaner, I understand my money more, and I'm starting to relax about these two aspects of my life. It gets easier each time.
    It's working for me, maybe it'll work for you too. Take care.

    Even down to little things like being self conscious of the way I move or my handwriting or my voice and the way my face changes according to expressions.
    I feel awkward in my body and see a caricature of myself instead of reality.
    It’s been worse since the pandemic as that’s beaten me down considerably in too if the fact that I suffer with Asperger’s syndrome which brings distress from a lot of sensory factors and changing routines for me.

      I got special consideration, with bonus points for being from a regional school under COVID conditions, and my final (ATAR) result was calculated off my overall year performance and reviews from all my teachers, who all believed that I had been one of their best students despite battling with mental health issues.
      I got into not only my dream university, but also Australia's no. 1 university, where I'm currently studying my dream degree, with amazing friends and an amazing girlfriend going on 2 years. AND today I just got a job at a cafe in the heart of the city - a job I had been dreaming of getting. It's not to say there hasn't been hiccups... my parents got divorced and some health and financial difficulties have hit all of my family members on all sides... but we're all surviving, especially despite these difficult times in the world.

    Ughh, it’s so annoying!
    I’ve has these thoughts for SO long!
    I remember it going back to like, elementary and me just telling my parents all these things, them taking me to a bad psychologist that even when told all my symptoms didn’t do anything and wasn’t helping me at all.
    I even had severe migraines (probably because of my extreme burnout, loneliness and friends leaving) which got so severe I had to sit out multiple days and sometimes weeks because of them.
    I had to pretend that I had *magically* lost those thoughts and symptoms to stop worrying my parents and to stop going to the therapist.
    I had used those ‘masks’ I made for so long..
    And only now have I realized the toll these have taken on my life, how much built up self doubt, sabotage and problems built up throughout the span of multiple years and how I had to grow, learn and improve myself, my journey to self improvement and calmness of mind.
    I started this journey a couple months ago but hard work, dedication, constant support from others and a good attitude has helped me, and to all of you also struggling remember these four things:
    Hard work and dedication pays off,
    Being vulnerable isn’t a weakness but just letting yourself feel emotions,
    holding a grudge isn’t healthy
    And hurting yourself helps no one and makes everything harder for everyone.

My mother says my anxiety medication may need adjusting, and while I do agree that that's probably one of the big factors, I think that I was also simply not emotionally and mentally ready to go back to classes for the fall semester because of the pandemic. But maybe I'm wrong or just overthinking, which are both very me things for me to do.

    it turns out,constantly doing and being extra can take a toll on your mental health.Overcommitments lead to self-sabotage in a variety of ways.For example,taking too much leads to not being able to finish everything you start.The feelings of guilt and obligation associated with overcommitment make it difficult to speak up for yourself or set healthy boundaries.Overcommitment sets you up to constantly put yourself last,which just makes stress worse.Overcommitment leaves you open to constantly being asked to do just one more thing,give just a little more

I do not regret it because I have been meaning to spend my time on studying and pursuing higher studies, but being on your own, trying to find your own schedule when you don't have work commitments to show up to, is hard. And I have not been able to recover from it. I see all the signs of sabotaging in me, on a daily, infact every moment basis. I have been wasting away my days, knowing I am a burden (as of right now) on my parents for support and I can't seem to be able to fight it.

It's something my therapist has told me before but I always brush it off, because I don't actuall feel I'm worth the effort, so why even try? It's hard to get out of such a mindset, I'd get better just to relapse even harder and now I'm here, second year into a full stop of trying. I've even left all the self-reflection I usually ignore running in the backburner for now, days before my first face to face meeting with said therapist in months.
