#128 I Trust Me Most: The Power of Self-Reliance

Who do you trust most in this world?  Is it you? Trust is a funny thing. We give it freely to those we deem deserving. Mostly this includes gurus, authority figures, experts, the people in our lives that demand to be seen this way. Very rarely do we give that trust to ourselves. The planted feet, eyes open, strong back-bone of “I know me more then you do” and “I trust that” is an elusive thing. Even when we get more practiced at it those slivers of self-doubt can pull us of course. Before you know it, that slight wavering takes your ship and points it towards where others are telling you to go – not the true north that your internal compass points to. Yes, at times our inner knowing, gut instinct, self-awareness, intuition – whatever you want to call it – can be in opposition to what others tells us. The expectations of what’s needed, is next to come or what should be are louder and more charged then that soft inner whisper. When the two compete for your attention which do you turn to? Which guides the ship of your life? Are you free to follow what you know and trust that?   This is a sticky area and unfortunately can be a bit esoteric and conceptual. Sure – it sounds great to trust me most – but how do I do that? How do I know what I know? Well…  the good news it is easier than you think. I’m delighted to share a few “how to” tools and fun perspective flips in this week’s podcast. Is it time to take your power back and trust you most of all?
