I don't know if this is what you would call being true to yourself, but I found a long time ago an insidious habit that I was able to break. It's something that people do constantly day in and day out. They lie to themselves, whether for a positive or negative outcome. Think of any time you've had to rationalize your own behavior, while in the back of your mind you know what the real answer is. You were lying to yourself. You might be lying to yourself if you think of yourself as a nice person, but you never hesitate to participate in office gossip, all the while believing it is wrong to do. You're also lying to yourself when you believe you are incapable of doing something, but know in a tiny place in your heart that you're being overly critical of yourself. To me, stopping those lies is being true to yourself.
