Dr. Noah St John compares unconscious habits to driving with the brake on. You're trying to reach a goal, but hidden self-sabotage slows you down without you knowing it's happening.
So let's say you want to go down the road to a grocery store, pick up some milk and eggs. That's your destination. That's a goal, right? Because a goal is, in fact, a destination. But what happens is, what if, unbeknownst to you, you had developed the unconscious habit of driving down the road of life with one foot on the brake? How long would it take you to reach your destination? A long time. A long, long, long time.
