How to embrace the truth within
- Recognise when you're telling yourself the story you rather want to hear. If you talk yourself into it or try to justify it, then it's probably a story, not the truth.
- Don't act based on the story. The more you support the story with actions and continued belief, the more you'll get used to thinking that way.
- Identify the story. Complete the sentence, "The story I'm telling myself is..."
- Don't beat yourself up for telling yourself a story.
- Be patient. Discovering your inner truth can take time.
- Invite truth. Listen to your intuition. Stop second-guessing yourself. Create space for the truth, and it will show up.
- Consider all possibilities. They may lead you to truths about yourself that you didn't know.
- When the truth speaks, listen to that inner voice.
- Know what you know, and what you don't.
- Connect with others about the truths inside them.
