How do you prevent yourself from spiralling downward to the point of self sabotage?

You actively choose to keep your composure and not let nonsense get to you. When a situation seems stressful take one slow deep breath and smile. Let whatever it is that's happening fall off your shoulders like rain on an umbrella. (It takes a little practice, but I've found it helps me stay cool under pressure so I don't go through the whole spiraling thing... at least not till I get home and can think through the more complex parts of whatever happened.)

I haven't figured that out completely yet since my body spirals out of control quick. However over the years I did learn the signals in my body that its happening and know to quit sooner. I also learnt my safe heartrate and installed a monitor on my phone in case I have doubts. That combined helps a lot in not overworking myself but sometimes it still happens for reasons I don't understand.

Just pay attention to you actions and when you feel yourself going that route pull yourself back and remind yourself of your goals and aspirations and all of the hard work you've put in to get yourself to this point. Understand?

Thanks for the MHO

You have to detect what is what makes you spiral first, once you do that then you can work on prevent it from sabotaging yourself.

The very purpose I am pursuing

Is it the purpose or the way you are pursuing cause there can be a major difference there

You have to learn how to move on.
