Be Honest With Yourself | A Real Life Client Story

The WISDOM podcast  Season 2 Episode 47

 

There is a choice that we make at some early point in our developmental process. It often goes undetected. It is a point and space in time in which we distinctly forgo some or much of our innate confidence and the pure knowing of who we are and what is important to us in trade for what we are being taught in the replete messages in the world and through our caregivers; of how we are to be socially acceptable, how we are to best fit in, and to be approved of by others.

It is at this precipice that we put aside some of what we know to be true and begin a conversation in our mind that preempts what our heart is speaking. If we continue to live here; in the space and time of the world inside our mind and in the thoughts that we convincingly hold; we may build a life, influenced by what others have said and told us we must do, rather than what truth and integrity we hold from witnessing our inner landscape and the intimate portrayal of honesty and integrity that rivals nothing.

 

We all know how to live in our truth. We as a collective, and as a human race have moved in various degrees away from this; and some of us have dangerously ventured into a space that we have constructed in our mind that makes it okay to behave in ways that is self-governed in dishonest acts.

And yet there is always an inner honing device, called consciousness; that is resistant to what thoughts and convincing beliefs you may hold; that allows you the inner integrity of conscience.

 

At what age did you begin to compromise your truth to yourself by the thoughts that you told yourself and believed, and perhaps the thoughts that were once the words and messages spoken by others? At what time did you notice this and call it back; to live in the honest truth of what is?

 

My client is a high performer in every aspect of her life; and excels in all of her courses as well as the game of basketball and soccer to which she plays at an elite level.

 

As well, this client’s anxiety was a lot bigger than she ever admitted to.  The stress of always needing to do her best in everything and to constantly compete with her peers in school and in sport, took its toll on her body beyond what she was able to comprehend.

Recently, she developed gastrointestinal problems that were exacerbated by anxiety.  She had recently been scheduled for surgery to repair the damage of her bleeding ulcer.

In our most recent session, this client had an epiphany, when she allowed herself to say out loud, "I'm not honest with myself."

 

How many of us could or would admit this?
