We are prone to it and capable of it. We easy it is to find fault with others, while excusing our own similar behaviors; it’s done so rapidly and consistently, we often don’t notice.

As much as we’d like to believe that we’re rational human beings, we can all too easily mislead ourselves. Self-deception lurks in denials, double-mindedness, rationalizations, cover-ups/cover stories, elaborate and almost convincing justifications, excuses, attributions of blame and evasions of responsibility – it is the process that encourages us to justify our false and invalid beliefs.

Let’s get real, painfully real…are you a self-deceiver? Shaking and moving, ducking and dodging like a self-deceiver? You know, avoiding those that know who you really are by preferring the company of those that will play your game of deception and not expose you to yourself? Trying to appear better than we are. To appear more honest than we’ve been. To appear more heroic than we have been. To appear more friendly than we acted. To appear to be more intelligent or clever than we are.

It takes a lot of courage to answer this question. Some people might even reply to it confidently saying that they can never deceive themselves while in fact they are only trying to cover their big lies. Contrary to common beliefs happiness can’t be found but it’s earned after you solve the problems that are bothering you. Self-deception is not a solution to the problems you face but it’s just a method that buries these problems deep into your subconscious mind without solving them.

If you are deceiving yourself, it’s time to be brave enough and to face the lies you created.

Our hair is considered the most durable because of its elasticity and its ability to with stand all our manipulation, heat, chemicals, twists, locs and dyes. But like your favorite winter jacket, your hair can become weathered if not properly cared for in the colder months. The harsh cold and frosty winds can cause excessive dryness and dandruff, you must retain or replenish scalp moisture. 

If you were lax in your hair care during the warmer months, you may have survived with minor damage, but if you do not take some serious precautions during the colder months, come Spring, you will definitely regret it. Jane Carter Solution Scalp Nourishing Serum is the perfect solution for this plagued with dry, itchy, tight scalp. This leave-in scalp nourisher’s base is hybrid safflower, you need only a small amount, applied sparingly, to see great results. Ylang ylang and cedar extract reduces fungus and bacteria while the sunflower oil works to soothe the scalp and restore it back to good health.
