People think self-sabotage is a mindset problem. Sometimes it is. But more often — it’s a nervous system problem. Your body will reject what it doesn’t feel safe receiving even if you want it. Love arrives — you flinch. Opportunity opens — you freeze. Money comes — you panic and lose it. Joy shows up …
