A Monk Explains Why We Self-Sabotage (And What To Do About It!)

A Monk Explains Why We Self-Sabotage (And What To Do About It!)

Why do we do things that work against what we actually want?

I interviewed Swami Karunananda, a monk located in the Yogaville ashram in Virginia, to ask her about something that affects us all: self-sabotage.

You know you want to stop binging. You genuinely want freedom with food. So why does that other part of you keep taking over?

She explained how the mind operates on different levels. And why even when we want the best for ourselves, we still end up sabotaging.

If you've ever felt like you're fighting against yourself, this episode will help you understand why, and what to do about it!
