155. How to Stop Self-Sabotage Before It Starts

🎙 Episode 155 — How to Stop Self-Sabotage Before It Starts

Today I’m sharing practical ways to stop self-sabotage before it even begins.

We all know the pattern: a stressful day, a busy week, or feeling tired and suddenly we overeat, skip a workout, or procrastinate. I want you to know — you’re not broken. Self-sabotage is your brain trying to protect you, and there are ways to work with it.

In this episode, I cover:

→ How to notice your triggers and patterns before the behaviour starts.
→ Pre-deciding realistic, flexible strategies to handle vulnerable moments.
→ Replacing all-or-nothing thinking with “next best step” thinking.
→ Simple tools to pause, regulate, and respond instead of reacting automatically.
→ How to anchor habits in your identity, not just outcomes.

You’ll learn to build awareness, consistency, and self-compassion — so you can stop shame and guilt from running the show.
