96. Circling back to self deception

Have you stopped lately and processed which areas of your life you are deep in self deception? Remember no matter how uncomfortable this might be, realizing our role in each and every problem in our lives brings to light the path to the solution of all these problems as well! Controlling our part is really the only control we ever had anyways, now onto solutions! Back on Episode 44 we talked about Self deception in education, so if you need an intro then head back and listen to episode 44 I want us to take a moment today though and process through this past year and see which areas of our life are mired deep in self deception When we refuse to see or understand the level to which we are part of the problem in every problem of our lives we ultimately give away all our power to address any viable solution to the problem as well Throughout this past year we have all become very good at blaming everything outside of ourselves for all the problems in our lives As uncomfortable as it is going to be we need to slow down and dig deep into our role in each of the problems in our life Recognize when we turn any of the people in our lives into objects, no matter how tough of a person they seem to be they are unique and passionate people as well. We need to recognize that any relationship struggles we are experiencing happen first in our minds and it really is rooted in our thoughts, not the behaviors of those around us We can choose to see people as people, choose to think differently about our current circumstances, choose to see our role in each of our problems Once we are willing to address our part then the solutions will start to present themselves as a possibility, but not before! The uncomfortable road is most likely the right and necessary one So what things do you seem to be struggling with the most? What part of that situation are you mired in self deception about? Are you willing to address your part in your life? We have talked a lot about clarity, barriers, and getting back into your life here on the podcast lately. If you are ready to get back in then start by digging deep and figuring out in what ways you might be self deceived and need to get out of the metaphorical box. I’ve got you on this one and I am here for you!
