We continue today with our education on self sabotage. No one reading this has ever taken a course on self sabotage. What about the courses the United States runs within its’ school system regarding going to war and that war is patriotic? What about the course your friend took on smoking cigarettes? What about the educational course on going bankrupt and spending money you don’t have? Yes, there are no courses on these subjects but people (and sometimes entire countries) are executing these behaviours on a regular basis and all behaviours are learned. So, if learning to waste your money, smoke cigarettes, go to war and go bankrupt are all learned behaviours and there are no schools teaching people these actions……..then who is teaching people to do this? Finding out how the subconscious mind really works will help you start understanding what really drives a person’s behaviour.

Everything a person does can be categorized into smaller (and very few) patterns of general behaviour. In saying this, self sabotage is not an individual action, it’s a pattern of behaviour…..or to be more accurate……..it’s a way of life. Self sabotage takes many different physical forms. For example, a treadmill you thought you would use (that you now use as a clothes rack) looks very different than a gym membership you never used but they are exactly the same in regards to patterns of behavior. Failed diets, diet books littering the wall, exercise videos from Wal Mart that were never watched more than once, the naturopath, the dietician, the medical visits, the exercise coach, a “Body By V” enrolment that fizzled out, becoming a member of every diet center in the area but always gaining the weight back…and then rejoining…..hoping the next one will solve the issue etc. Does this sounds like anyone you may know?

Inside the primary pattern of self sabotage there are mini-patterns and one of the biggest mini patterns is that “someone else is going to solve the problem for me“. That’s also a way of life for most self saboteurs. The constant disbelief that the weight issue could be solved by the person who actually owns the body and controls the body is something observed in the vast majority of people who participate in the cycle of self sabotage. What it is actually is disempowerment.

Jobs being done so long by others that the person actually forgets to do for themselves. The reason the people keep believing they can’t do for themselves is because in order to sell you any product or service, you need to first be made to believe “YOU CAN’T” but the people selling the service or product “CAN”. That is why it’s so dangerous to watch TV, read conventional magazines/newspapers or even participate in the conventional school system. The overwhelming subconscious message in our society today is that you need someone helping you because you’re too inept to do it yourself……….and it’s not true……not true at all. You may need some help to get going or to get there faster but you can also accomplish it all yourself. The problem with getting help is that it can disempower you if you recieve it for too long a period. Just like a person getting welfare, eventually they forget how to work at all.

For people who really want to understand why they smoke (even though it kills them prematurely and makes them worse on all levels) or why a person would rather get a gastric bypass (instead of just eating healthy food) or why they spend money they don’t have (and go bankrupt) or why they join a diet clinic (and then keep eating the foods that make them sick and then lie right to the face of the diet coach that they are following the diet to a T)……..it’s good to watch this documentary about how the subconscious mind is tricked into self sabotaging via a type of learning that you don’t even know exists. Learning this sort of self sabotaging behaviour is like an invisible school that you don’t even know you’re enrolled in. I will continue this discussion soon. Maybe just watch the first part of the documentary to get a good idea of how the minds of people are tricked into the self sabotaging behaviour.
