I was leading a group last week and during an insightful visualization, they all saw that they weren’t really trusting themselves and tapping into their full power and potential. Do you really trust in yourself and feel CONFIDENT?
Let’s get right to it. This is the story of you and me, and most people I know.
They LOOK confident on the outside, but inside, all of us have little gremlins that hold us back and erode our confidence. It takes focus and intentional practices not to live in the autopilot of fear-based thinking, self-criticism, and imposter syndrome.
Here are 3 practical ways to build self-trust and confidence…
1. Shift Negative Self-Talk Immediately. Stop the cycle of self-criticism, judgment, and beating yourself up. Repetitive, ruminating negative thoughts create feelings of unworthiness, failure, and guilt. The cultural belief that we need pain and punishment to perform and succeed is WAY OUTDATED. Interrupt those patterns and build your self-affirmation powers. For my 3-step process to make quick radical shifts, click here.
2. Affirm Yourself When You Follow Through. Stop obsessing about what you didn’t get done. Every time you overcome a challenge, achieve a goal, follow through on tasks, and stay accountable, especially when things are hard, deserves your recognition. Even checking off the little mundane tasks (which drive me crazy by the way!) can build self-trust when you ‘do what you say you are going to do.’ The more you are accountable to yourself, the more you will trust your capabilities, resilience, and brilliance.
3. Get Into Your Intuition & Voice of Truth. Get out of your head. Slow down the doing and get present in your body. The voice of truth and your inner wisdom are inside you. So much truth and guidance are available in the way of callings, gut feelings, hunches, and information from somatic physical body sensations. If you aren’t sure how to trust your intuition and the wisdom in your body, come to my free workshop on 11/9/23.
