The three ways you may self sabotage your success

Putting Down of your Capabilities - Self-deprecation can be harmful to your self-esteem and confidence. This covers both what you say out loud and the mean self-talk you say in your mind. Negative ideas and words can can distort your self-perception. They have an effect on your self-esteem. When you put yourself down in front of others, your comments either make others uncomfortable, or if they're mean, put you down more easily.

Rationalization and Justification of your Major Decisions - This process, especially if spoken out loud to others, is a way to not take responsibility for your choices.  It lowers your self-esteem and takes away your decision-making power. You have left it up to reasons, not needs and wishes.

Thinking You Deserve To Be Punished - Instead of improving your situation and moving away from destructive habits and people, you stay in it. You keep telling yourself over and over, you deserve it.  This is an insidious pattern prevalent in some cultures.  Some people carry on the unjust punishment from childhood and punish themselves later.  

How to prevent negative self-talk? How to change it into positive in order to achieve success?

You can begin to go deeper and establish new thinking patterns. Becoming aware of your negative thinking take practice and effort. Negative thoughts are frequently linked to incorrect ideas.

You can also establish simple coping habits by becoming aware of each time you say it.  One book author says, "cancel, cancel" to help his mind drop the thought.  You can also use the simple act of cutting downwards with your arm in front of you and imagine you released the thought into the Earth.  Last, you can release the thought with some guided meditation found free at https://scientifichealer.com/emotional/
