4 Lies To Stop Telling Yourself

We often tell ourselves lies in to make us feel better about life, however white lies only hamper your progress.

Here are some common white lies people tell themselves:

1- I am what I am

This is not true, your behavior is more than what you are and are not yourself in moments of crisis.YOU contain powerful, dynamic, and complex parts. Your personality has different parts, some of which are painful and destructive at times, like anger and resentment; others are good and generous like gratitude, compassion, and love. Sometimes your body reacts with anger, sometimes with love. When you are unaware of these elements of your personality they can control you. When you are self-aware you can choose not to be the victim of emotions that are destructive and painful, instead you can choose emotions that are healthy and constructive. When you are angry, choose to deal with the situation with patience. This is hard to do but how easy it is to live in isolation caused by destructive anger?

2- I have no time

This is a poor excuse, a white lie you tell yourself to get rid of your responsibilities. You always have time for your health and wellness. You have time to get your body in shape and eat healthy. You have to want it enough to make yourself a priority. Six months from now you will be much better, or sad you did not start already. Make it your goal and hit the gym, work out at home, or bicycle to work. You have time!
