This is The Ed Miler Show. Hey everyone, welcome to my weekend special. I hope you enjoy the show. Be sure to follow The Ed Milet Show on Apple and Spotify. Links are in the show notes. You'll never miss an episode that way. Now on with the show. All right, welcome back to the show, everybody. I'm so excited about today's topic. It's probably the number one topic that I get asked about, which is the topic of self-sabotage. What do people do in their life subconsciously and unconsciously to sabotage their success or their happiness, their results in general? I'm gonna let you in on a secret. I'm kind of an expert on this topic, and not because I'm so perfect, but because I spent so much of my life sabotaging particular areas that I was making progress in, whether that was in my financial success.
I'd get some financial success or business success, and then I'd sabotage it. Frankly, even really in my own personal happiness and peace, I'd feel like a little bit more bliss, a little bit more happiness, a little bit more peace in my life. Then I'd sabotage the results. Even some relationships that I've had, I've sabotaged them. So I'm kind of an expert on this self-sabotage thing. I also think I've probably become close to an expert on how to stop it. And why it happens in the first place. So what I'm going to give you today is the gift of seven things people do to sabotage themselves. Their success, their happiness, their finances, their body, their relationships.
What is self-sabotage and how does it manifest in our lives?
I'm going to give you seven of them. But before I do that, because I think these seven things are symptoms. In other words, when I outline them for you, if you're doing any of them or more than one of them, you're currently sabotaging something. So they're symptoms. But the root cause, the disease, is something that's never discussed when it comes to sabotage. And I want to cover that today. What's going on behind the scenes in our minds, subconsciously, unconsciously, that's causing us to sabotage things? Because if we can identify that... Man, we've got a chance of eliminating all of these seven symptoms I'm going to share with you. And so here's how I look at sabotage. See, our lives are dictated.
The most powerful force in our life is our personal identity. Our personal identity is like the thoughts, beliefs, and concepts that we hold to be the most true about who we believe we are or what we're worth. It's our worthiness, but it's even more than that. It's a combination of our experiences, what we're familiar with, what we believe we're worth, our self-confidence, all combined creates our identity or who we believe we are. And our identity is very much like a thermostat setting on our lives. So like in this studio right now, it's set at 73 degrees. I checked it right before I started with you. And what's great about that is that thing's set at 73 degrees. Guess what's going on in this theater right now?
73 degrees is happening inside here. Here's why. The external conditions do not control the conditions of this studio. Right now, it's about 85 degrees outside. Externally, it's really hot out there. But in here, 73 degrees. Because what happens externally does not control what happens internally in this theater. And here's the story. Same with your life. It's not the external things. It's not how other people are treating you or events going on in the world or events going on in your life or circumstances outside of your control that dictate your life. What dictates your life is that thermostat setting, your identity. Let me give you an example, and you've probably seen this before with yourself or friends of yours.
See, you have multiple thermostat settings, by the way. You have an identity setting, a thermostat setting for your happiness, your finances, your success, your relationships, your physical body. You have multiple ones, your faith. Let's just take a few of them. Maybe you've had this happen before in your life, but if you have a 73 degrees success thermostat setting, right? And all of a sudden your business is growing, you're at 80, 90, 95 degrees.
