Chapter 2: What do you think gets in your way?

Why this chapter matters

It's disappointing when we fail to achieve our goals due to self-sabotage. We need to understand why we self-sabotage to stop doing it.

Goal of this chapter

This chapter provides exercises to uncover the limiting beliefs fueling our self-sabotage and add them to our Inner Compass. Understanding the limiting beliefs helps us overcome self-sabotage later on.
