We lie to ourselves and tell ourselves that today I’m extra busy, tomorrow I won’t be as busy. Here is another form of lying rationalization.
Ever caught yourself making excuses or bending the truth to fit your narrative? In this episode of 'Thoughtful Mind with Tzvi', host Tzvi Hilsenrath tackles the tricky subject of self-deception. He explores why we lie to ourselves, how it impacts our mental health, and, most importantly, how to break free from these habits. From smoking to rationalizing poor decisions, Tzvi dives into the various ways we trick ourselves and the hidden fears that drive these behaviors.
He even brings in a bit of humor with references like Paul F. Tompkins' routine on stealing, making the discussion both enlightening and entertaining. This episode isn't just about identifying the lies; it's about learning practical strategies to confront them head-on. By understanding cognitive dissonance and recognizing when we're denying reality, Tzvi guides listeners towards a more honest and fulfilling life.
Whether you're struggling with addiction or simply want to live more authentically, this episode offers valuable insights and actionable advice. Tune in and start your journey towards self-awareness and personal growth.
