...beliefs minus actions...

...beliefs - actions...
when beliefs minus actions equals anything other than zero, an anxiety will exist inside the individual. these imbalances can linger for years in honest objective people and only seconds for bias rationalizers. why is this?
it is due to one's honesty and objectivity when evaluating their initial internal feeling following a hypocritical imbalance. everyone wants their "beliefs minus actions" to equal zero. some do it by changing their beliefs so that they are equal to their actions.

change your actions so that they equal your beliefs. beliefs should be arrived at objectively, and should be a relatively independent variable.
so, which is you?
type 1::
your beliefs and perceptions of reality conform to support your own desires and imperfections. your beliefs and perceptions of reality are rationalizations for your actions and are without objectivity. when a state of hypocrisy arises, your beliefs conforms around your actions to eliminate contradiction, rather than conforming your actions around your beliefs.

type 2::
actions never contradict yo urbeliefs. you are completely devoted to what you believe. your beliefs and perceptions of reality are not rationalizations for your own actions. your beliefs and perceptions of reality are the result of either objective logic, blind faith or a combination of the two. regardless of the source of your beliefs, your beliefs and actions are without contradiction.
type 3::
your stated beliefs contradict your actions. however, your stated beliefs are consistent with your actual internal beliefs. you have strong convictions but do not always follow through.
type 4::
your stated beliefs contradict your actions and your stated beliefs are not consistent with your actual beliefs. you often have weak convictions, and it is possible for you to be non-hypocritical on an internal level.
type 5::
your internal beliefs contradict your actions. your internal beliefs remain constant despite your contradicting actions. you are honest with yourselves, and strive not to conform your beliefs around your own desires, actions, or imperfections.
type 6::
stated beliefs are consistent with actions but actual internal beliefs are not. you are often a people pleasers with weak convictions.

hypocrisy = beliefs - actions

...a person whose actions contradict their stated or internal beliefs...
