Why do we self-sabotage right on the edge of a breakthrough? Many people believe it’s an ‘unconscious contract’ from our past, and understanding this is the key to breaking free from your old survival code. Have you ever wondered about the one hidden reason so many high-achieving, conscious creators get stuck? You might find yourself in the same painful loops of self-sabotage, time and time again. Surprisingly, this pattern has nothing to do with your willpower or even your mindset.
Prefer to watch? I’ve put my video below or if you’re a reader simply continue reading the post.
The Unconscious Contract Driving Self-Sabotage
The root cause is often an unconscious contract you made with yourself years ago. This typically happens when you were younger and went through something painful. It might have been an event that knocked you down or completely stole your joy. In that moment of struggle, your primary goal was simply to survive. To do this, a part of you instinctively created a new set of rules to live by.
These rules become a kind of code, an internal agreement about how the world works and how you must behave to stay safe. For example, some of these rules from my own story might sound familiar to you.
- I have to work hard to be safe.
- I’m not worthy of success unless I’m struggling.
Perhaps you can see a version of your own story in these examples. At the time they were created, these rules were not a flaw; they were a brilliant survival strategy, especially when we were dependent on those around us for our well-being.
Why Your Old Programming Resists Freedom
The challenge is that this outdated programming is likely still running your life right now, long after the original threat has passed. So, when you consciously try to create a life of ease and freedom, you encounter internal resistance. When you are actively building time freedom, location freedom, and financial freedom with your business, that old part of you perceives this newfound liberty as a threat.
Even if it’s just potential freedom, it sees it as a threat to your survival and pulls you right back into the familiar struggle…
This internal conflict keeps you busy fighting for success, rather than allowing you to actually experience the joy, the fulfillment, and the freedom that you are truly meant to embody. Your old survival code pulls you back to what it knows, which is the safety of the struggle.
A Guide to Breaking Free From Your Old Survival Code
The good news is that you don’t have to remain stuck. You are now ready to finally rewrite that old contract. You can align all parts of yourself with the life you consciously choose to live right now. It is possible to move beyond these limitations and step into a new reality.
To help guide you through this, I am hosting a live, in-depth training on this exact process. I would love for you to be there to learn how to identify and transform your own unconscious contracts. If you feel the call to move forward, you can explore the Break Free From Self Sabotage training and find the next available session. I look forward to seeing you there on the flip side.
