Because, like, look at it like this. When you're honest with yourself, you're being crucial. You're laying it all down, you're telling yourself well, what are the setbacks that have held you back?
Honesty is always the best policy, but many people don't know how to be honest with themselves or use myself. And in for an example in many of the lessons here today, being honest with myself, I have always had an issue with being overweight. And of course you'll see that being honest it means that you have to say look Isha, or username. Why have you been overweight? What started you there in the first place? And what's keeping you there now?
For me, it all started when I was about eight or nine years old. It started right after my parents had separated, got divorced and we moved away. But what's keeping me here? Well, number one, a life long lifelong struggles of depression. Did I know that in the beginning absolutely not Lee? Absolutely not Lee?
