Ten Tips for Being More Truthful



Barbara A. Lewis


The Ten Tips

  1. Make a commitment to tell the truth.
  2. Tell someone about your commitment.
  3. Think before you give a dishonest answer, explanation, sarcasm, or reason.
  4. Be careful of when and how you use exaggeration, sarcasm, or irony.
  5. Be careful not to twist the truth or leave out part of it.
  6. Don't indulge in little white lies.
  7. Watch out for silent lies.
  8. When you catch yourself lying, throw your mouth into reverse.
  9. Talk to yourself.
  10. Treat yourself when you tell the truth.


Reflection
They are important because we often tell lies in fear of the consequences that the truth can be told when brought upon. I believe it that when you tell a lie, even a small one. it can pile up over time and lead up to a huge one.  It can benefit anyone by not living in resentment or guilt. Also your life will be happier and you wont live in constant anxiety. You can incorporate these tips into your life planning by committing yourself to actually doing your goals instead of just writing it down.
