Quote:
Fighting Cognitive Dissonance & The Lies We Tell Ourselves | World of Psychology Cognitive Dissonance Theory | Simply Psychology According to Festinger, we hold many cognitions about the world and ourselves; when they clash, a discrepancy is evoked, resulting in a state of tension known as cognitive dissonance. As the experience of dissonance is unpleasant, we are motivated to reduce or eliminate it, and achieve consonance (i.e. agreement). |

We can learn to overcome cognitive dissonance and become emotionally congruent. Much of what can be called "cognitive dissonance" is old habits that need to be broken. We can start with simple, small steps such as making an effort to keep our facial expression, vocal tone, and internal emotion the same - i.e., congruent.
