Episode 61 - Why We Lie and Less Obvious Reasons Why We Shouldn't
Manage episode 482731721 series 3660866
We explore the damaging impact of dishonesty on our authentic selves and how reclaiming truthfulness can lead to deeper connections and self-acceptance.
• Lies erode authenticity and disconnect us from our inner truth over time
• Many people lie to avoid conflict, escape consequences, or protect a self-image
• Dishonesty creates internal dissonance and emotional weight, even when unconscious
• The truth almost always surfaces eventually, causing more damage than initial honesty would have
• Finding courage to speak your truth requires deep self-love and willingness to be seen
• Small steps toward honesty build momentum for authentic living
Today's prompt: Identify one area where you're not telling the full truth and ask yourself what truth wants to be spoken here. Consider how it might feel to release the weight of that lie.
