Self Trust - Part 1

Why I find trusting myself so challenging

This was written pre bereavement, but it’s something that I’m tapping in to so deeply right now as I navigate the shock and grief I’m experiencing…I really hope it helps you with whatever you’re facing in your life right now.

Self Trust - Part 1

Today I am writing about self trust. This is in two parts, as I feel it needs a lot of space to explore، and that you need time in between for reflection.

Last week we talked about the energy of belonging, and how supportive it can be on the path to Self Love, and living authentically.

Instead of approaching the journey with judgement, rigidity and force (something that has been a go to for me), it’s about softening everything, and gently encouraging ourselves through daily life, through uncomfortable experiences, and when we may be resisting.

This is 100% a practice for me. Even though I have a very joyful and playful attitude, I can be wired to negativity and judgement towards myself, and so consciously tapping into compassion is something that takes constant work from me.

At my raves I give tips for letting go on the dance floor. I give about 5 in total - use your body as an anchor, feel the joy, expand the high vibes, feel the joy, and tap in to the energy of FUCK IT!

I find feeling joy and being rebellious really easy, but tapping into the energy of compassion a lot harder, whereas some women are more naturally empathetic towards themselves, yet really struggle with being courageous.

I also lack self trust. I live with a niggling feeling of self-doubt that sits in the pit of my solar plexus. It’s the opposite of self trust, and it can really affect not only the way I show up with myself, but also within relationships, and within my business.

And so today I want to share with you how it shows up, why it shows up, and then next week we’ll delve into how to navigate it - together!

I’m really hoping this is going to broaden your awareness around how a lack of self trust may show up for you, and to help you understand why - so that you can move more in to self belief and self sovereignty.
