You swore you were going to make better choices. You even bought a fancy motivational planner and filled out those cute boxes the author created for you to write your goals. You are prepared to be your best self, to stop people from walking all over you, and to persist even if things get a bit rough.

Sure, you have made mistakes in the past, but you think now you are too smart to make those mistakes again?

You are so sweet….

Here’s the problem, though: inside your head, right now, it’s your arch-nemesis, the greatest jerk you have ever had to face.

They are merciless, they are insidious, and they will never give up. Yes, you guessed it! You are your own worst enemy and until you stop getting on your own way, you won’t get very far.

So, let’s take a look at why we end up betraying ourselves, even when we think we are ready for some improvements, shall we?

We think we really want to change unhealthy patterns.

We keep falling for the same type of people: adventurous, overly confident, and with loud voices. However, after a few moments, they end up breaking our hearts.
