What do you do when your thoughts and feelings don't align with your core beliefs/values?

Our minds are in a constant struggle with our hearts in which as same with our core of beliefs and values. As much we seek to believe we've not change but in some degree we do.
Trying to find due North and reset our path when one becomes confusing of such seems is to be objective of you not let it unmind you. Surround yourself with the right people who know your heart to the core of your being might put you on the path you wish to take.

I ask myself what I have to gain by not adhering to my morals because there must be something to gain if my thoughts are straying from my firmest beliefs.

I know then that it is time to declutter my mind.

I'm sure you'll get quite a few answers. I myself have dealt with and continue to deal with this contradiction. I do my best, knowing that in some ways I am a huge hypocrite.

There is one aspect, I struggle with now.Rest are perfectly aligned.

Cognitive dissonance.

The result of your thoughts and feelings not aligning with your core beliefs/values, are depression and feelings of not being enough, for yourself and others - feelings of missing your life, because you are.

I think it’s easy to slide away from morality when you’re depressed.

There are times when I focus on “just keep it legal” when I’m depressed. There is a lot of gray out there that can get your dopamine levels up.

Actually, this one is right up my alley (as if you didn't know).
