Matt D Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Hello good people, I made a new blog post called 'Being Honest About Being Honest'. It's my first real blog so don't give me feedback... okay, maybe a little. If you like the writing you can subscribe at http://unconsciousconnection.com ~Matt 1
AynRand Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Great Article! I have often realized whenever I'm not being entirely truthful, and have wondered on how to ease my guilt. I will definitively keep your advice in mind next time I do that.

JanneW Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Thank you, Matthew, for this article - and for the other articles on your blog! You really got me thinking, feeling (and consulting my inner team).For many years now I'm on a path of being ever more honest - with people I'm close with and within reason with others as well. And I've already reaped great rewards. So I thought I had this down pat. But reading your article I noticed my first reaction to be: Why's he even talking about how to handle the after-effects of dishonesty? Just be honest all the time! ...Another voice came up within myself: "And if you've been dishonest, don't feel guilty! You hafta had got ya' reasons!" Feeling pretty self-righteous now. Only then I noticed: these two of my inner statements don't fit together logically. I was lying to myself that I was being honest the whole day, and when faced with the fact that I did hide something, I switched to strategy #2: whatever I did must have been the good.So I opened up my inner conference table and found lots of voices within me, wanting to talk about honesty and fear. I feel less rigid right now, I feel nicely warm from within and confused, but in a good way. I want to mull this over some more. Thanks again, and please keep up your blog posts!
