I contradict myself 🤫

Cognitive dissonance – The term cognitive dissonance is used to describe the mental discomfort that results from holding two conflicting beliefs, values, or attitudes ^Reference

I started thinking about this term because of a video that I watched back in March about how musicians contradict themselves in their song 😅:

Video 1. Artists contradict themselves compilation

I didn’t know there was a term for this experience, I remember feeling that discomfort but not being able to put words to it 😵‍💫.

Finally I did it!

Fear of flying

When I was little I didn’t use to understand why people were scared of flying but I don’t remember when my mind changed and I started feeling lots of fear of flying.

This video has been very helpful and that’s why I thought that it would be a good idea to share it.

I’m definitely watching it again.

Love,

Why a “No” is a “Yes” to myself?

“A question is just an opportunity to be honest” –Byron Katie

I started wondering why it is so hard for me to say “NO”. Sometimes, I say it but I feel guilty afterwards, like wrong and I was wondering why it is so hard inside my mind to be honest. So I started researching on google and I found this article:

25 Ways to Say No by Kim A. Flodin

I liked it, I think that is a good introduction to the main question: “Why is it so hard to say “No”?” but for me it wasn’t completely clear, so I continued with my research and as always I decided to look for Byron Katie’s experience and I found this video:
