What happens when you stop trusting your own decisions, feelings and instincts?
This week on The Mid Week Tease, Adelle unpacks how self-trust can slowly erode, through being constantly second-guessed, people-pleasing, gaslighting, overriding your own needs, breaking promises to yourself, or making a decision that went badly and deciding it means you can’t trust yourself anymore.
But self-trust isn’t about always getting it right.It’s about knowing that even when you get something wrong, you trust yourself to listen, learn, adjust and meet yourself on the other side.
In this episode, Adelle shares 7 practical ways to rebuild self-trust, including:
- Keeping small promises to yourself
- Making decisions without always seeking external validation
- Learning the difference between seeking advice and seeking permission
- Paying attention to your internal “no”
- Giving yourself permission to change your mind
- Treating mistakes as information instead of evidence against yourself
- Creating a record of the times trusting yourself served you well
And at the end of the episode, there’s a 7-Day Self-Trust Experiment designed to help you actually practise what you’ve heard.Because self-trust isn’t something you think yourself into.
It’s something you practise yourself into.
