It’s Time To Trust Yourself
From better and faster decisions to increased confidence, there are some big benefits to trusting yourself
How many times in your life have you known you should go with Choice A but went with Choice B instead? And how many of those times did Choice B turn out badly and you thought, “Well, damn, I knew I shouldn’t have done that!”?
Or what about the times you’ve made a decision and someone else told you it was wrong. Did you stand firm in your decision regardless of their disapproval? Or did you second-guess yourself and think maybe they were right?
It happens to everyone. Including me.
For lots of people, self-trust can be pretty difficult. You tend to second-guess your every decision, not follow your gut, or forever cling onto negative memories of when you made a “bad” decision or a mistake. This makes it hard for you to trust yourself, and research has proven that this lack of self-trust leads to various challenges in our lives, profession, and relationships.
Having self-trust isn’t about being above mistakes; it’s not about being bulletproof. Trusting yourself means reclaiming your position of power and confidence in your decisions. It means not giving in to your fears and making confident decisions.
