The Ten Tips

Ten Tips for Being More Truthful


1.Make a commitment to tell the truth
2.Tell someone about your commitment


To make a commitment is to make something that you will follow even when you don't want to do it anymore. And to make a commitment to tell the truth is to make one where no matter how much you want to lie you must not and you must confess the truth.I will follow this tip by not quitting on my Japaneses class even though it may be getting harder I will tough it out because I promised my mom I wouldn't quit.By telling someone your commitment that person can help you to follow it so you don't brake that commitment. A person can also help you by giving you tips on how to stay focused on the commitment you set for yourself. I will be telling my mom about my commitment and see what advice she can give me on not giving up.

3.Think before you give a dishonest answer


Thinking before you give a dishonest answer is important because then we can make sure that the people we are talking with can have there question answered and they would know that it was the right one. It is also important because it is a way for us to help people and we also want to be helped and the only way that can happen is with a honest answer. It is the most important things to keep in mind that people in this world will be more friendlier and may even look up to you if you help  them with the correct answer. I will follow this tip by telling my parents the truth of what I do everyday.  

4.Be careful when and how you use exaggeration sarcasm, or irony

You have to be careful when talking with someone because if your story seems to far of from the truth then the person you are talking with will think you are being dishonest. This is important because if this person believes that you are not telling the truth they may start to no trust you and will be more reserved when talking to you. It is important that when you are talking with someone that you are honest and give them a truthful answer.

6.Don't indulge in little white lies.

It is a great thing to not indulge in little white lies because now you are a part of a lie that could possible get bigger as time goes.The best thing about this is that it is telling you the truth because even the tinniest of lies could hurt someone because it could give them false confidence when you know that they shouldn't do what they want to do.These little white lies may not seem like much put they can really affect someone who honestly trust your opinion or to someone that thinks that you would never lie to them.

7.Watch out for silent lies.
A silent lie is when you lie without actually noticing that you are lying. These are a form a dishonesty because it kind of shows that you don't care about the person you are talking with and that you think very little of them. It is also a bad thing because when a person find out they are gonna be mad that you thought so little of them to lie without actually knowing you lied to them.

8.When you catch yourself lying, throw your mouth into reverse.
This means that as soon as you notice that you are lying take back the statement that you made and rectify your mistake. It is also a way for you to learn how to learn when you are lying which is good because then you know when you are lying and can stop yourself in the future. Its also important to catch yourself so you don't make a big error and people can learn to trust you more. With this in mind I am gonna try and use this technique in my everyday life so that I can stop lying to people. 

9.Talk to yourself
Talking to yourself is a good things because it lets us express our ideas in a safe environment. It also helps because we can practice what we are gonna tell someone before we tell them.It is a helpful tool for us to let us be ourselves because we can show our real self to our self without the fear of being criticized.It can help us prepare for a important meeting be trying to rid ourselves of the stress that will come with it.  

10.Treat yourself when you tell the truth
Telling the truth is a big thing because you are leaving your norm by being a honest person and telling the person that you are talking to the truth.Its the best thing to do because if you treat yourself you are giving yourself an incentive to continue telling the truth.Some ways to treat yourself is by giving yourself a longer break or by buying something for yourself that you really like.
