Lying to ourselves

Whenever we think of lying we think of lying to someone else. However, we also lie to ourselves on the daily. Personally, I lie to myself when I set my alarm for 8 but actually don't wake up until 9. Everyday though I tell myself I am going to get up at 8 and I am going to be productive before I have to get ready for class. I am lying to myself because I know I won't get up until 9 but I still cooperate with the lie and set my alarm for 8. Lies like this happen everyday. Whether its I don't want that chocolate cake when you really do want it or saying you'll just watch one more episode of netflix, we lie to ourselves everyday.
