Part one: Rewrite your ending

What I tried doing for this ending:

• Think back to your investigative question. Did you get an answer? Or did you find out something unexpected?
• Work on a punchy, killer last line.

I, along with many of you, are probably now wondering “will I continue to self-sabotage?”. Knowing what I know now, I would like to say that it will happen less often. But I’d be naïve to say I’ll never do it again. The thing that’s so frustrating about self-sabotage is that often, I do it without even noticing it. I’ll leave my house without a jacket in February with little to no awareness of the negative outcomes it will have on my future self. So, will I screw myself over again? Yes. But will I work on ways to avoid doing it so often? Yes. And most importantly, will I wear a jacket next time when it’s 0 degrees Celsius mid-winter? Abso-fucking-lutely. 

Part two: Rethink structure

1. Why do we self-sabotage?
2. Desire to gain control
3. Anecdote: friend broke up with her boyfriend because she was worried he would dump her
4. Individuals don’t get enough sleep
5. Solutions: carpe diem + stop blaming ourselves for situations which are out of our control
