The Lies You Tell Yourself to Justify Bad Choices

Описание: I made this video because I kept noticing the same tiny stories we tell ourselves over and over. Girl Math is funny until it becomes a habit that nudges you off course. In this video I walk through why our brains invent justifications, from cognitive dissonance and the sunk cost fallacy to moral rationalization and social proof.

You’ll get practical ways to catch the inner lawyer in the act: short questions to ask yourself, a simple pause that breaks momentum, and why naming the feeling behind a choice is more useful than arguing with it. I share research and everyday examples so you can spot patterns, not just isolated mistakes.

If you want quieter, clearer decisions, start by noticing your stories. If this resonates, say hi in the comments with a moment you rationalized something. I read them and learn from them.
