Mental sabotage!

Nov 17, 2022

Today’s Theme: MENTAL SABOTEURS

Quote

Saboteurs are the voices in your head that generate negative emotions in the way you handle life’s everyday challenges. They represent automated patterns in your mind for how to think, feel, and respond. They cause all of your stress, anxiety, self-doubt, frustration, restlessness, and unhappiness. – Shirzad Chamine in Positive Intelligence
