Self-sabotage is the suicide of opportunities. Do we all self-sabotage? YES, WE DO. Philosophy is in whoever seeks the truth or its version of the truth. I'll share mine about this.
Self-sabotage is that action contrary to what you want. That action which, once you do it, immediately causes you culpability. You have the goal of becoming Fitness, but after a week/month you get tired and decide to become instead the guy of Man Vs. Food. The typical cliché of that guy/girl with the ideal couple that manages to spoil everything somehow.
Normally, we define a "high conflictive" person as someone who shows problems of interaction, impolite treatment with others or another series of behavior pattern. These types of conflicts might be superficial compared to those we have internally.
Two concepts are handled. The conscious desire. What we consciously want. What we KNOW WE WANT. On the other hand, there is the unconscious desire. What we need. What we WANT WITHOUT KNOWING.
These two TITANS when opposing, generate THE CONFLICT. Explanation perhaps, to the paradox of our being. Self-sabotage is nothing more than the manifestation of the result of the colossal battle, sometimes could be our self-worth, or the very comfortable... comfort zone, there are too many factors actually.

Yeah, it's hard to have balance in life in that sense. My philosophy is "if you fall, raise again" and repeat over and over and over :-)
Totally! We must be patient.
