Self-Trust Surprises

Little girl looking up at wall with words: Believe in Yourself

 

I’ve recently begun the first leg of an ongoing journey to help people return to a rightful state of self-trust.

 

And I’ve had some surprises right out of the gate!

 

The biggest one is that self-trust means different things to different people.

 

When I went online for a definition, I got 2 different answers.

 

The most common one goes something like this: Self-trust is a deep-seated belief in one's own abilities, judgments, and capabilities.

 

No wonder we feel like self-trust is so hard!

 

Over the years, I have developed a very deep sense of self-trust, but it’s definitely NOT based on a belief in my own abilities, capabilities, or even (sometimes) judgments!

 

There are lots of things I’m not good at (yet!) either because I haven’t learned how to do them, or because I haven’t had enough practice. So my self-trust doesn’t come from belief in my abilities.

 

Same with Judgement. The decisions I’m able to make at any given time will be limited by my current understanding of the subject at hand.

 

There will always be people who have greater experience or practice dealing with a given situation than I do.

 

But that doesn’t mean I should hand over my precious power to them.

 

Because I believe in this second definition of self-trust:

 

Self-trust is about:

 

  • Being true to yourself

 

  • Honoring your personal feelings, intuition, and instinct

 

  • And being confident in your capacity to handle whatever comes your way. 

 

It's the ability to take risks, make decisions, and accept the consequences, whether they lead to success or failure…

 

…because you know that you can turn any failure around through following your own inner guidance and gut instincts.

 

You can only get to where you’re meant to go by trusting your OWN inner guidance, and I’d love to help you start receiving the benefits that self-trust will bring to your life.
