Overview
Most of us consider ourselves to be honest people. We value integrity and try to be truthful, especially with our loved ones. However, have you ever noticed how easy it is to deceive ourselves?
You might feel a wave of defensiveness at that thought and want to deny it. But self-deception is more common than we realize.
There are several ways we trick our own minds. Some of these illusions are harmless, like believing we’ll exercise tomorrow when we keep putting it off today. Others can be more damaging, limiting our potential and happiness.
Here are nine frequent forms of self-deception we tend to engage in without even realizing it. Recognizing these patterns can help us break free and take steps toward achieving our true goals!
