Is it time to be true to yourself?
We’re all about wanting (and sometimes demanding) people to be honest with us yet we’re often not honest with ourselves. Therefore, the first place to start is for us to tell ourselves the truth.
Initially you may dismiss this idea because you don’t initially grasp why you wouldn’t tell yourself the truth in the first place. Quite a natural response.
When you’re not conscious what you tell yourself you can cause massive confusion in your brain (ie your thought process and choices become compromised).
We usually don’t take notice of the “stories” we run. This may be because the situation is too confronting so we dismiss it or we’re afraid of facing the truth because it would mean certain decisions, choices or actions are required.
And sometimes it’s just because you’re not living in the present and don’t actually realise what your “stories” are. You can actually miss what’s going on in your “thought life” and accept the uncensored chatter as truth rather than call it out or question it. This negatively impacts your brain’s neural network causing beliefs that don’t serve you and eventuate into unhelpful patterns of behaviour.
You can even be fearful of not having the solution to an issue and therefore “pretend” the issue doesn’t exist (ie kick the can down the road so to speak).
Granted, initially it may seem easier to ignore or dismiss what’s revealed but in reality, that’s “Denial” and if not straight away, will eventually cause grave consequences to your wellbeing and produce poor outcomes.
This state of denial can cause you to end up having to manipulate your decisions and choices around the hidden “untruths”.
