I find I am my own worst enemy. Self sabotaging before I even get started. Doubt. The cycles of starting and then quitting jobs or healthy habits.

What are your tricks to get out of your own head?

Talking with my psychologist about this and admittedly it's not easy because finding a tool that works for you individually is the hard part.

For me running does it but if I can't run what do I do? We are working on body scanning which helps a bit. Slow down and distract your mind. I'm going to start reading again for example.

What you need to work in understanding is as I put it theres two competing voices in my head and the self sabotage is there because, and it's fucked up, it's a way of protecting yourself. You need to acknowledge it but also tell it when it's not the time or place
