The Power of Self-Trust: Why Believing in Yourself is Key

I was listening to an interview where a prominent celebrity talked about her lack of self-trust and it got me to thinking. Consider this: You, are the only one you will spend your entire Life with. By exercising the power of self-trust you’ll see why believing in yourself is key. That helps get you through Life with much less second-guessing and doubt.

From the cradle to the grave, it’s you and only you walkin’ your Walk. The many folks you meet along the way share your journey, but they just share it—parents, children, friends, loved ones, lovers, they are the characters you meet in this game called LIFE but they are not YOU—only YOU have that unique title of being WHO YOU ARE, and of course that goes for each and every one of us.

So why don’t we Trust ourselves? Huh?

Where It All Began…

Since YOU are the ONLY person on the YUPJ, (Your Unique Personal Journey) how is it that YOU are the one you tend to Trust the least? Self-trust is not something that is high on what gets passed down because the folks we are learning from don’t possess it, so how can they possibly teach self-trust?

Some of folks have had great examples of what self-trust looks like even though you may not have been able to put a name on it growing up. Your mom might have moved through Life totally trusting herself and that example gave you the confidence to do the same. But most of us have learned from people with a lot of fear, and that’s what gets passed down.

Add to that the messages we are bombarded with in the media both social and in the news that incessantly broadcast that we would be MUUUUUCCCCCHHH better off if we get that butt lift or those eyebrows or have a 10-pack stomach from a killin’ workout regimen or be more beautiful with lighter or white skin!

We second-guess, doubt, beat up on ourselves, issue scathing and unkind remarks to ourselves ignore our Intuition, hate our bodies, maybe even the sound of our own voice. We rate ourselves so poorly—why aren’t we our own best friends? Why do we look to others to validate ourselves? Why do we doubthate doubthate doubthate ourselves soooooo much??

Habit, indoctrination, habit, beliefs in everything but ourselves. Equals no self-trust.

Lack of Self-Trust Is An Element That Aids Depression

When we dim our Light in not following what our Intuition tells us because of fear, it saps our Life Force or rather our access to it. It blocks our Joy. It wipes out self-trust. Think about a sad or tough moment in your Life that was due to making a decision that your mind advocated but that your Inner Self whispered otherwise–how did that work out for ya? Did you end up feeling great and rejuvenated? Or did it bring your Spirit and Energy down, possibly causing big problems?

When I think of the times I sat in deep depression, a great part of that was due to me lacking self-trust and not Trusting my Inner Guidance, of thinking that what others said or held as important was far greater than my Internal Guidance.

I had a set list of ‘This Is How Things Should Go’ and couldn’t/wouldn’t see that my path(s) had nothing to do with what I THOUGHT it should be, that I needed to be more Trusting of my own process and Allow, and until I Allowed myself to see differently, in a state of depression I stayed.

As I began to step out and build self-trust, I began to feel better and better about my Journey and decisions. Part of Trusting is forgiving what you may have viewed as mistakes and having FAITH that you will do better as you know better.

You Are Really Very POWERFUL!

Having said that, how do you want to continue to use Your Power? To keep yourself down or to soar and enjoy your Life? My dear Beautiful People, learn to Trust Yourselves. Learn that Trust is an integral part of Self-Esteem, of Self-Love, of Self-Care. In Becoming Your Authentic Self. Know, that when build your self-trust fully Life begins to show you something different because YOU are different. Your Energy shifts, Your Light shines BRIGHTER because Your Frequency is Higher.

Learn to Trust YOU.

How do you do that? One step at a time. Look for things that are working in your Life and give yourself some credit for recognizing them! Step out on Faith more. Listen and TRUST your gut, it will never steer you wrong. Even when it seems like it doesn’t make sense to your mind.

Be kinder and more patient with yourself. For every negative thought you tell yourself that you catch, say things like, “I Am a most Precious, Unique & Valuable Jewel” and “I Trust myself completely.” Or anything along those lines.

And you may really feel stooooopid in the beginning. That’s ok. Do it anyway. That’s just your mind belly-aching against a new way of thinking, it’s so used to the norm as it’s predictable and seemingly safe (even though you may be unhappy).

You are programmed in one way, be patient as you are re-wiring your thought process. it will come. Stay with it.

Remember that Your Intuition is Divine Guidance speaking…so learn to TRUST more and see what happens!
