Mastering Self-Trust: 5 Steps to Boost Your Confidence and Make Empowered Choices so that you live the life you’ve always envisioned.
1. Get Clear: Set your intention to SEE what you are unwilling to see. Engage in deep self-reflection to uncover internal narratives and beliefs.
2. Your Value and Worth: Acknowledging and embracing your inherent value is essential. If you’re looking for guidance in this area, my book ‘Reclaim – The Surprising Gift of Toxic Relationships’ offers a powerful tool: ‘The Values Clarifying Process Step-by-Step.‘ This method will help you identify your top six non-negotiable values, providing clarity and direction in your journey.
3. Your YES and NO: Clearly define what aligns with your desires (YES) and what doesn’t (NO). If it FEELS good, makes you smile, and you look forward to doing it, then it’s a YES; on the other hand, if it FEELS heavy, you find yourself justifying or negotiating with yourself, then it’s a NO.
4. Inner Self-Talk: Transform your dialogue with yourself. Let yourself know that you are doing a great job, and even if you have discovered that your choice brought you something unwanted, make sure to check in with yourself and realize that the GIFT of the experience will serve your highest and best good even though you may not be able to SEE it yet. You must celebrate your wins and your losses. When something happens in your life that takes the wind out of your sails, nurture yourself. Life will always bring us many different experiences.
5. Beyond Shiny Baubles: Shift focus from external allurements to authentic, fulfilling goals. In a world filled with distractions and many choices, discovering what is truly aligned with your heart will bring you the life you’ve always envisioned.
