Peter Sage, a renowned human behaviour expert, delves into the reasons behind self-sabotage and procrastination. He highlights the power of the unconscious mind and how it influences our actions, often leading to self-doubt. He also emphasizes the importance of self-mastery and the role it plays in personal growth and success.
Understanding self-sabotage
Regardless of intelligence or motivation, people often fall into patterns of procrastination and self-sabotage.
This is not due to a lack of resources or opportunities, but rather subconscious patterns and belief systems that steer us away from our best intentions.
The undisputed first law in psychotherapeutic intervention is that people will never rise above the opinion of themselves. – Peter Sage
The role of our nervous system
Our nervous system is hardwired for comfort, which often conflicts with our potential for growth, leading to frustration.
The human brain’s neocortex, operating at alpha or beta brain wave lengths, distinguishes us from most animals and plays a crucial role in this dynamic.
