A Fresh Perspective On Self-Sabotage – Mike Bundrant

A Fresh Perspective On Self-Sabotage - Mike Bundrant wellness force radio 118

Ending Self-Sabotage With Mike Bundrant

Get ready for an incredible podcast as we discuss self-sabotage, and how to bring our destructive subconscious patterns into awareness.

Why do we sometimes act against our own best interests when on some level, we also know what's best for us?

The answer lies in our subconscious motivations.  Most of our unconscious thoughts and patterns were learned at an early age and programmed deep into our biology.  We all can greatly benefit by understanding how our subconscious mind affects our health and wellness.

The good news is, we have the ability to bring the unconscious realm into our conscious awareness.

As you'll learn on the podcast, there is great liberation in giving ourselves more space to feel, and understanding our underlying motivations of why we do what do.  When we begin to take a true emotional inventory, we can turn off these negative patterns that run on autopilot. This allows us to gain more self-awareness, shift our internal narrative, and point our lives in a new direction.

How Our DNA Keeps Us Safe, but Can Lead To Self-Sabotage.

Our DNA wants us to stay safe.  Unfortunately, this basic survival mechanism is causing unwanted consequences in our modern day society.  The ancestral fears that used to be of real concern from a survival standpoint now manifest themselves as different forms of anxiety and imagined fears.

The problem is, these imagined fears can create biological responses similar to those caused by actual survival situations.  Playing out these imagined fears on a regular basis is wrecking havoc on our nervous system and internal well-being.  It can be challenging to uncover these fears, because many live in our subconscious mind and have been perpetuated for years.

Not only do these imagined fears have negative affects on the physical body, but they hold us back from taking action, achieving goals, and moving our lives closer to a desired vision.

There are ways to uncover how these survival mechanisms negatively affect us: we must take an emotional inventory and then learn to distinguish between legitimate concerns and our imagined fears.

Top 3 Takeaways From The Show

  • We need to give ourselves space to feel. This can help us to identify and stop perpetuating destructive emotions that may be running on autopilot.
  • It is important to step back and take an emotional inventory of our lives.  If we can identify the motivations and drives that lead to destructive behavior, we can adjust before our subconscious programming and old habits take control.
  • You can revolutionize your peace and well-being by learning to distinguish between legitimate concerns and imagined fears. Today's fears are more imagined and self-created compared to those of our ancestors that were based on actual survival.  If we can stop the imagined fears from dominating our mindset, we can cultivate a more powerful and abundant mentality.
