Self Trust

“As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live.” — Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

To hear your intuition and make good decisions you need self trust first.

Then, I chose strength and dove into self trust.Self trust works as a deep anchor in your soul.  It’s a radical paradigm shift. It short circuits the fear response.

It changes the way you view the world. So, when life throws stuff at you, which it surely will, your reaction will be different. Rather than fear, overwhelm, panic, dread. You come from a place of strength.  You trust you can deal with whatever comes your way.

Self trust activates your strength and power.

You don’t really understand that you have self trust issues until you choose self trust. Choose it every time a case of the fear or doubt gets you. Then you’ll see the difference. And in just a week you’ll see how far you’ve come and the different person you have become. It is very powerful – choosing self trust. Try it and see. It’s definitely worth the experiment.

Self trust changes your state. The state you are in affects your decision making. Have you ever experienced that feeling of being down? And you can’t see a way to move forward? Then a few days later you feel on top on the world and then suddenly you know exactly what you need to do. Self trust puts you in a self confident and strong state of mind. Empowering. Self Loving.

Self trust is a huge key to unlocking self-loving mindsets and habits. It’s way beyond taking time to nurturing yourself with a massage or weekend away.

If you don’t trust yourself, your decisions will be all the poorer for it.

When you add in self trust the options become wide open. Choices become clearer. You stand on a mountain and see the far horizon.

Instead of being pulled left and right by drama. Your heart is open, solid, centered, warm. You are brave more often. And more loudly.

To look at it another way,

Poor self trust is putting a brake on your life.

One foot on the accelerator. One foot on the brake.

Questioning the moves you make. Second guessing you.

Protection and vigilance. Confusion.

Over-analysis. You may regularly expect the worse.

More freak outs with higher frequencies.

Fear is the basis behind it all. Though you do not see that when you are in the thick of it.

With self trust you become self contained. You don’t feel the need to get approval from others or endlessly seek advice about your life. Self trust sits deep below everything mooring you into place.

It is your heart space strength.

Self trust is a leap of faith.

You can’t intellectualize yourself to self trust. You must believe it. And the belief then creates the power, inner knowing and assuredness. It’s because self trust lets you access your potential.

The faith itself creates the change. 

Faith to trust yourself with all your might.

Sit in strength.

Because strength builds strength.

One rock. Two rock. Foundations deep, strong and secure.

With self trust you’re able to access your intuition. Your intuition is wisdom, and self trust allows you to hear it. Self trust is connecting to your inner core of worthiness – your soulness ness.

If you can’t hear your intuition or don’t know what inner voice to pay attention to this is why. You need to work on self trust. This is the missing key.

If all your responses are fear based, how are you going to be able to know what is your gut instinct/soul, and what is a freak out?

Self trust is also about boundaries. Knowing when to say yes and no. Knowing what is good for you and not.

Self trust puts you in a higher frequency of positive energy.

And finally, self trust opens creativity up. Creativity is about going into unknown territories and making something. You need self trust to do that well.

Action Item

Recommit to self trust whenever you need it. Eventually, it will become second nature.  It will become a default way and a new neuroplastic network in your mind, one that connects to your heart’s intelligence and gut instinct. With out self trust you rely more on your brain’s analytically processing. 

Use it when you feel yourself slipping into overwhelm, fear, freak out, doubts.

Use it especially for decision making. Choose self trust first.

Use it when you want to make powerful change.

NB ~ Be kind to yourself and understand that failing always happens. It’s part of life. If you internalize your failures and add in negative talk such as “I’m no good. I can never get anything to work”, then you are going down the rabbit hole of not trusting yourself again. Most of life involves course correction, trying again, or changing direction. Life can be a crazy ride, and getting caught up in straight lines and how you think it should be is too rigid altogether. Big love.
