Printable Self-Sabotage Worksheet

Self-sabotage refers to behaviors or thought patterns that undermine an individual’s goals or well-being, often stemming from subconscious fears or low self-esteem.

Self-sabotaging patterns include habits such as procrastination, setting unrealistic goals, overcommitting, negative self-talk, and avoiding opportunities out of fear of failure. These behaviors hinder progress and reinforce self-doubt.

Self-sabotaging actions are often unintentional behaviors that hinder progress, such as procrastination or avoidance, whereas self-destructive behaviors are more severe, deliberate actions that cause harm, like substance abuse or self-injury. Both can stem from underlying emotional or psychological issues.
