Any part of our life that we can’t tell the truth about detracts from our well-being. Feeling we need to hide or lie about something means that we don’t approve of it ourselves. Pretending to be something we’re not in alignment with creates dissonance and stress. Any short term benefits pale in comparison with the deeper price we pay. Deceptive speech and behavior is detrimental to our sense of integrity and wreaks havoc on our self-esteem. Speaking and living in harmony with our principles endows us with a deep sense of self-confidence and helps us…
Love ourselves.
