Lying is bad for health
Do you lie too often? Do you feel bad after lying? Or do you just forget about it and move on? Whatever it may be, the saying “Honesty is the best policy” stands good.
Being dishonest affects your health in the present and for the long-term.
Do you find it hard to tell others “NO”? For many of us, the biggest stress factor in life is attempting to please everyone. With tight schedules, we run short of time. We try to please everyone around us and end up having less time for ourselves.
Stress is directly linked to the development of cancer. Besides, it is a known risk factor for diabetes and other heart conditions like hypertension, stroke, heart attack etc.
Remember to save time for yourself. Say NO politely when you are burdened.
You can decrease stress by practicising breathing exercises, talking to others about how you feel or even writing.
Always be honest when you convey your feelings. Never hold your feeling inside. Just bring it out (in a polite way). If you don’t, it will add-up to the stress and one day, it will all just come out.
May you live long and always be happy!
