Do you trust yourself? 3 ways to increase your self-trust
Do you trust yourself? That’s a question I asked myself some time ago, immediately realizing I had some work to do with my self-trust. I noticed that trusting others and trusting myself doing something for others comes naturally to me. However, I had a more complicated relationship with my self-trust.
How’s your relationship with your self-trust?
Self-trust is the faith that you can rely on yourself 100%. It is part of self-belief and essential to reaching your dreams, taking the next steps, and taking healthy risks in life. So knowing this, now let’s check your relationship with your self-trust:
– Do you always rely on yourself 100%?
– Do you second-guess yourself?
– Do you trust that when you tell yourself that you do something, you do it?
After asking those questions, you may notice that you also have some work to do with your self-trust. And the good news is that it is possible to increase your self-trust. Let me show you a few ways.
3 ways to self-heal & increase your self-trust
1. Learn to trust your intuition
To trust yourself fully, you should learn to trust your beautiful intuition, your gut feeling that constantly guides you, no matter what. Your self-trust increases when you listen to your inner wisdom and are in contact with yourself.
2. Do the things you tell yourself that you are going to do
It is easy to start procrastinating when you have promised (to yourself) to go outside your comfort zone. Your self-talk becomes negative, your fears might kick in, and you see the uncertainty you are about to face. Then somewhere in your mind, you also blame yourself for not doing what you told yourself to do. Oh, what a cycle.
Next time you end up in this situation, determine a smaller, easier step that leads to the bigger goal. And then do it and feel how good it feels to take that step. Feel the beautiful self-trust shining within you.
3. Let go of the self-blame
How often have you been in situations when you did not trust yourself, even when you knew you should trust yourself? And do you still carry that blame somewhere deep within you?
When you live with a growth mindset and are a self-healer, you understand how important it is to transform that blame into lessons learned, deeper trust, and self-love.
So let’s do that together. Bring one of those situations into your mind and:
– Tell yourself that you forgive yourself.
– Tell yourself that you have learned from your mistakes.
– Tell yourself that because of what happened, you trust yourself more.
– Tell yourself that you let go of the blame and all negativity. And see or feel how you let go of this situation.
– Then imagine how you fill yourself with love.
