Tell the Truth

Have you ever said “I’m fine” when nothing could be further from the truth and you were feeling terrible? Every time we lie to others, we also lie to ourselves. Our subconscious mind hears the lie and continues to bury the feelings generated by the initial event. When we lie and say we are fine, we tell our self/subconscious that a problem doesn’t exist, so it need not search out a solution.  The subconscious will take actions based on conscious commands. The effect of this allows the cause of the problem to go unattended and rebury itself. The next time it shows up we may not be able to recognize the cause or source of the attack.

A major key to recovery is to tell the truth about how you feel and to process every feeling in the moment you have it. It does not require any special skill to tell the emotional truth about what you are feeling. For example: “How are you?” … “I’m having a rough day, thanks for asking.”
