And generally as a person who experiences anxiety, what's going on in your mind is not actually happening in the real world. But it feels very real. And that is also kind of a lie. Because my anxiety is built on insecurity or self esteem issues. Whatever the case may be negative experiences. And I'm in a situation and I going crazy, sort of spazzing out of my mind. And these things are not really happening. And I literally have to talk myself out of the lie

Hey, PK, I love the directive. I will behave. I will not cow cow to my internal liar. We've been enduring so many falsehoods in the external world, obviously misinformation the dark, deep, fake stuff, and that's been so distracting. But it's interesting to think about our own internal narrative and sometimes how that is a sabotaging thing in our lives. And it starts with just acknowledging that there are some things we tell ourselves a lot and it's not true
Yeah. Wow. How many lies does it take to realize that a lie is but another way for us to lie down and see that we're actually upside down most of the time. So what we think is up is down, and what is down is up. Can we believe in that lie? Whoa. Can we believe? Yeah, totally

I had matched with an exgirlfriend who I dated about a year ago, and I basically was just hitting like on every single profile on Tinder. I wasn't even careing who it was to increase my odds of matching, basically. And she had messaged me and she said, Why? Again? And I was like, what? And I had to look at her profile and see, hey, how are you doing?

Hey, Deborah, good evening. Thank you so much for responding to this. Well, sorry for the delayed response and I love what you mentioned about habits. And I encourage you to think about a habit is that it can change, especially when we change it and then we do it certain number of times and then it sticks. So that is encouraging for me and hopefully for others

Like, sometimes people feel like they lie or the lies of omission when you don't say things and they're think they're protecting the person, but it's really about you. And that is another like, lie. Right. You can tell yourself for the lie, but thank you. Hope you're having a peaceful night or morning, depending on where you are in the world. Peace. Bye

Hey, Dewuan. How are you? Hope your Saturday is going well. Thank you for responding to this well. And you mentioned the lie that I think a lot of us have the not in enough or not yet or not ready or when I get to or when I become or when I have. And that one stops us from doing so many things. Yeah, you are good enough right now
And our behavior when our actions don't match our intent, when we say we are confident in bold and then we don't do bold and confident things, there's a lie somewhere in that mix match. I heard one person say, if your character meets up with your integrity in the daytime, would they recognize each other? And I believe that's a very profound statement. I think sometimes you don't even know if we're lying to ourselves. It's so innate in us

And that's really profound because I think that we are all to some degree we are really walking around carrying and sort of living by these things. And these things were given to us. They're not our thing. And we don't sometimes realize that we could really let them go. As always, I just appreciate your mind and your thoughts and hope you're doing well and happy almost Tuesday and have a really great week and catch you in the slowers
