We can be tricked by others, but we can also buy into our own illusions. We stop ourselves from feeling our feelings, we push them down. We don’t face the truth or reality of a situation. We don’t need to get mad at ourselves when we realise this. Just become more aware of them at first. Having compassion for ourselves is better at this stage. Just acknowledge the truth and the reality of what is going on. Know that when we are ready the solutions we need will present themselves to us. So for today ask yourself: where are you tricking or creating illusions yourself in your life?
