3 self-trust growth tips
“The person you need to trust first is yourself. No one can be as consistently supportive of you as you can learn to be. Being kind to yourself increases self-confidence and lessens your need for approval. Loving and caring for yourself not only increases self-trust, but it also deepens your connection with others.”
Self-trust means that you can take care of your needs and safety. It means you trust yourself to survive situations and practice kindness, not perfection. It means you refuse to give up on yourself.
In The Courage to Trust lists other components that encompass self-trust. They include: being aware of your thoughts and feelings and expressing them; following your personal standards and ethical code; knowing when you need to care for yourself first; knowing you can survive mistakes, get up and try again; and pursuing what you want without stopping or limiting others.
If you don’t do these things, you’re not alone. None of us was taught to trust as children. Instead, we were taught to be dependent. Maybe you had parents, family, friends or mentors who modelled trust and gave you positive messages about yourself.
Maybe you didn’t. But whether you had this or not, you can learn to trust yourself. Trust as a skill all of us can learn.
