How to Stop Self-Sabotaging Your Health Goals

You start a new habit, feel motivated, and then… somehow, you fall off track. You tell yourself you’ll “start again Monday.” Sound familiar?

In Hungry for More, I explore why we self-sabotage our wellness goals—and how to break the cycle for good.

Why Do We Self-Sabotage?

❌ Fear of Success or Failure—What if I can’t maintain it? What if I mess up?

⏳ All-or-Nothing Thinking—One “bad” choice makes us quit entirely.

⚡ Emotional Triggers—Stress, boredom, and anxiety push us toward old habits.

💡 Unrealistic Goals—Expecting perfection leads to burnout.

How to Break the Self-Sabotage Cycle

✔️ Reframe Setbacks as Lessons—Instead of “failing,” ask: What can I learn?

✔️ Ditch the Perfectionism—Consistency beats perfection every time.

✔️ Create a Plan for Triggers—Identify stressors and prepare a better response.

✔️ Celebrate Small Wins—Each step forward builds momentum.

Final Thoughts: Be Kind to Yourself

Success isn’t about never falling—it’s about getting back up. The key is self-awareness, not self-judgment.

💡 I’d love to help your audience break free from self-sabotage—let’s talk!
