The mind is a very slippery beast, and when using the law of attraction, unless you are very vigilant, your mind can try to sabotage you. It's the ego taking control. The ego has spent many years trying to protect you and guide you, so when you try another way the ego tries to get you back on track. Self-sabotage is one of its many ways of doing this. It can be subtle and insidious, but it can be overcome.
The first step in overcoming self-sabotage is to realise you are doing it. This may sound simple, but when you are trying to defeat yourself its not necessarily in a straight-forward manner. Little thoughts, one on top of the other, can lead to you heading in a direction you don't wish to travel. Get a pen and paper, sit down, and become aware of your thoughts, then write them down. You'll be surprised how many are leading you astray.
The second step is to change the thought. The minute you become aware of a thought that is leading to self-sabotage you have an opportunity to change the thought. You now have the chance to travel in the direction of your goals rather than away from them. Realise, there may be times when you will need to repeat this step. Like I said at the beginning, the mind is slippery, but you are in control, not the other way around.
The third step is to change the actions behind the thought. Thought leads to actions which lead to results. This is continually brought up when dealing with the Law of Attraction. Now that you've changed the thought follow through. If you don't there will be a disconnect. Remember who is in control here, and take charge.
The fourth step, rinse, wash, repeat. I bet you have more than one self-sabotaging thought. I know I do! The key is not to stop at the first one. Now you've been victorious with the first one, repeat it. You'll soon have the confidence to conquer your thoughts and remain on the path you wish to travel.
Thought leads to actions which leads to results. Change the thought, and then the action, and repeat the process, and you'll be able to be in control rather than your ego being in control. If you are still having problems in this area, consider doing a course on the Law of Attraction to keep you focussed. You have nothing to lose and the universe to gain.
