Cultivating Self Trust.

 

Trusting your self can be really painful if you’re someone who routinely gives up and then beats your self up.

It will seem impossible, in fact, for most of us to say YES to something, to anything.

We RSVP to an event only to not want to go when the day arrives.

We sign up for a market, only to want to get out of it the day before.

We get back on Bumble and then want to throw our phone in the trash as soon as we get on there and get active.

We tell ourselves we’ll work out every day and then we don’t.

And on and on and on.

Then there are those people who are determined. The people we see making decisions and improving their lives.

What we make that mean is up to us. I know for myself, until I understood (and accepted) my own personal idiosyncrasies I really had no way to manage them.

I’d get myself into non-ideal situations again and again and again. And I felt powerless to stop.

It wasn’t until I paused and looked inside that I broke the cycle.

So, I want you to know that there is hope. I promise you. And I also want you to know that it can happen so much quicker than you imagine. It has taken me time to deal with the consequences that were created due to my lack of self-trust but the relief at knowing the cause was pretty immediate.

Self trust begins with self acceptance and self love. We cannot push away ourselves and think that we’ll be able to build a positive relationship with ourselves.

If you are scared you’re going to be shamed, you most likely won’t take action. If you’re able to be kind and gentle and understanding with your self, you’re more likely to take chances.
