The Mountain Is You

THE WAY YOU ARE SELF-SABOTAGING:
 Overworking.
WHAT YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND MIGHT WANT YOU TO 
KNOW:
You do not have to prove your value. You do, how-
ever, have to stop running from the discomfort of being 
alone with your feelings, which is very often the reason 
that people overwork. There is a difference between being 
passionately committed to something and feeling obligat-
ed to outperform everyone else. One is healthy; the other 
is not. 
THE WAY YOU ARE SELF-SABOTAGING:
Caring too much 
about what other people think.
WHAT YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND MIGHT WANT YOU TO 
KNOW:
 You are not as happy as you think you are. The hap-
pier you are with something, the less you need other peo-
ple to be. Instead of wondering whether or not someone 
else will think you are enough, stop and ask yourself: Is my 
life enough for me? How do you really feel about your life 
when you aren’t looking at it through the eyes of others?
THE WAY YOU ARE SELF-SABOTAGING:
 Spending too much 
money.

BRIANNA WIEST
KNOW: 
Things will not make you feel more secure. You 
will not be able to purchase your way into a new life or 
identity. If you are overspending or spending outside of 
your means on a regular basis to the point that it is detri-
mental to you, you need to look at what function buying 
or shopping serves. Is it a distraction, a replacement for a 
hobby, or an addiction to the feeling of being “renewed” 
in some way? Determine what your needs really are, and 
then go from there. 
THE WAY YOU ARE SELF-SABOTAGING:
Dwelling on past 
relationships or continually checking up on exes.
WHAT YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND MIGHT WANT YOU TO 
KNOW:
 This relationship affected you more than you are 
letting yourself believe. The ending hurt you more than 
you acknowledged, and you need to process that. Your 
continued interest in this person means there’s something 
about the relationship that is still unresolved, and it is 
probably some kind of closure or acceptance that you need 
to find for yourself.
