Be Honest With Yourself

Be honest with yourself. Realize that in the anonymity of your own mind and the loving comfort of your own heart, it is safe to process thoughts that you would not dare share with others. If you have the courage to face what bothers you, it can help to relieve your stress in those areas and move toward a more comfortable and peaceful life.

Of you have been wrong in some instance, harsh in an interaction with another person, or if you have not measured up to your own standards at some point in your life, you can admit those things to yourself. No one is watching. No one is listening. You’re safe.

The first step toward resolving a problem or improving a bad situation or behavior is to admit that it exists. Have the courage to take that step in your own heart and mind. See where it leads. Note what solutions may present themselves as you think about it. Experience the relief that direct acknowledgement of a troubling issue can bring. Admission is an important step toward growth and healing. Take that step with certainty.
