Wouldn’t it be a fantastic world if we all fully trusted ourselves in every moment. For me it would be a world whereby I really love myself and have the confidence and the belief in myself to be who I really want to be in the world.
This blog is one small step towards who I want to be in the world. The reality at the moment in my life, is that I would love to trust myself more….
So what is having complete trust and faith in ourselves?
For me it is having the confidence and the belief in myself to be who we want to be in the world and to take action towards what I want. When we fully love ourselves, we completely trust ourselves. The two are like peas in a pod. The more we love ourselves, the more we trust ourselves.
In my experience, the only thing that has stopped me in my life from trusting myself, has been my own fear, doubt and worry. These so called “fears” essentially come from our beliefs about who we are being in the moment or about the action we are taking. Such as; Fear that it may not turn out the way I would like it to be. Fear that I may be unhappy if I don’t get what I want and expect.
All these beliefs can cripple us from ever really fully trusting ourselves. Imagine embracing the belief that there is no failure only feedback in what ever action you choose to take. What an empowering belief!!:)
Fully trusting yourself means having the confidence to be, do and have what we want in the world and trust ourselves to take action towards it.
We don’t trust ourselves in situations because of the beliefs we have around what we are saying, being, thinking and doing…..For example if you were thinking of setting up a new business tomorrow morning. You may start off saying to yourself “yes I have a good idea but I don’t have the money, I haven’t done it before so therefore I will not succeed, there is a lot of competition and I might fail etc” If you believed all these thoughts, the chances are that you may not trust yourself enough to set up the business.
However if you choose to have another set of beliefs around this possible venture such as “ I can get the money, I can learn how to do it, it will be a success, I can create something different and more effective than the competition, there is no failure only feedback etc”, there is a high probability that you may trust yourself enough to take action and take steps towards setting up the business.
So how do we go about trusting ourselves more in the world that we live in?
Well one way I have found is by embracing and changing our disempowering beliefs to more empowering ones.
Here are a few I have come up with and which I choosing most of the time to have in my life;
~ I choose to love and accept myself completely no matter what the outcome is.
~ I choose to let go of all need and expectation of the result I want, when I take action.
~ I do the best I can based on my current beliefs.
~ Anyone who judges or condemns me does so for him/herself and him/her own reasons.
~ Everything is happening for my higher good.
~ I fully trust myself to do the most loving thing for myself in every situation.
~ They are no losses only gains.
~ Everything always works out for me.
~ In choosing my beliefs, I am responsible for who I am.
~ I am always guided to what the next best step is to take.
~ Believe not in what is…but in what you want!
~ Everything is constantly changing.
~ If my happiness were not dependant on getting, I could go after everything I want without fear.
~ There is no failure only feedback.
~ They are no limits.
~ The world around me is user-friendly.
I would love to hear of any beliefs that you may find empowering or inspiring as well as any feedback or comments you may have…
Thanks for reading,
Namaste,

i often think a lot of us are afraid of ourselves. the media is constantly telling us how we should be or look. maybe some have said things in our lives that we have not let go of, and some of us do want to fit in so badly, that we are afraid to show our individualities. god made us perfect in his own eyes, but we never think we are good enough. humans do not like failure. instead of embracing it and learning from it, we take it and turn it inside out to our own souls……..i have issues with this also. my weight is not ideal, my health could b better. i don’t do this or that like the neighbors do, but yet when i am all alone, i generally like who i am, it is me that let others influence my very own thoughts

I would actually have to say that I started doing better is the day I decided NOT to trust in myself anymore while simultaneously becoming RESOLVED to love, to do good for others anyway. I am too weak of a person to be able to earn confidence for anything I have done or will do. I need strength from another source besides myself. But, with that said, I agree that we need RESOLVE and need not worry about the outcome of our good works so much, which is beyond our control. RESOLVE is something I lacked for a very long time, but it was because I thought every reaction to my actions was my responsibility…to an extent, yes, but not completely. God bless, and thank you for the thought provoking post!

This is DEFINITELY needed information!! It sneaks into life in strange ways, but sometimes you can only see it when you look back. Like it was for me. When I had my affair, one could say that I compromised because I thought I could trust myself not to let it get too far. But it was actually the exact opposite. if I would have trusted myself that I didn’t need to compromise my beliefs, that I was a good person, and could trust myself to be who I was created to be, and trusted the process…I know I would have gotten a lot further faster. Well…or maybe not. I suppose I did get my jump start that I needed to heal myself and my marriage. But either way, I am learning to trust myself and my core values now more than ever. Thanks for posting this! It is a great reminder to me of what is truly most important.

You have so many great ideas…again! I was thinking about these ideas this morning, and my husband mentioned….”be….do…have” ….just as you write here. I try, as I mentioned in your earlier post, to come out of positive motivation…to BE that…and then to DO… and to not concern myself with the “have”…because that’s the effect of the be and do…and might be out of my own control.
And to deal with my concerns about negative feedback?…well, that card about “seeking approval”…but this post too…I think this linked post is wonderfully helpful… http://istopforsuffering.wordpress.com/2012/06/14/compassion-and-forgiveness-16/

Trust has been the study of a lifetime for me- sometimes I think it is like going into the silence, where you can finally hear what needs to be heard. It’s also about knowing somehow that as a part of this whole, there IS a dynamic you can trust to move forward, YOU don’t have to do everything all by yourself. Having said that, every day is a trust walk! often with potholes…thank you for this blog and all the inspiration!

Secondly, if I’m honest, sometimes I shy away from challenges… and, consequently, I have that fear of failure. If I feel it’s too challenging, I might not try…
But like Alfred says to Bruce Wayne… “Why do we fall, master Bruce? So we can learn to pick ourselves up.”

Affirmations are good, as long as you can keep them in your mind more than your fears… this way in time they could become new habits. It takes patience and perseverance to get there. There are other ways to get the same results, for example: finding something that you’re really passionate about, that will motivate enough to go through the fears to get there (because you trust feeling, you’re charged by your passion), it’ll pull you toward your dream. You’ll get so busy to make it work, that you won’t have time to “entertain” your fears. 🙂

Thank you so much for your post (and for liking mine, which is how I found you!). It’s all about our thoughts isn’t it? And they are very sneaky at times. A daily meditation and yoga practice has been helping me be more aware of my thoughts–as they occur–and thus more able to accept or reject them in the moment as true or not. “Truth” seems to be subjective and gets into the beliefs beneath the thoughts. So I have also been going through a major “belief system readjustment”, ie learning how to fully live a yoga lifestyle. So far the results are very good and my thoughts and I are much happier together. Om shanti Teresa Durga Divadas

hi!, first let me thank you for following me! I would tell you that the best way to get to know me and what my God has done for me is to go into my archives! I know it is a lot to ask anyone. I am in the editing process right now and as I re read what God wrote what He did, I am so amazed. I may have to just re blog everything all again. I have a lot of new followers who don’t have any idea–and that is my story. Of course it continues as it is always something with my body, but God has been so plainly explicit with me in the last 2 years that I do understand it. I know exactly why and what and I have accepted that He has chosen me for this sacrifice because in doing so I have come to know Him like I never had before-nor probably would have.
my ONLY comment so far on what you are writing about it is where is God in the trusting of self? or being happy, or being wise? I have only read a couple of the postings so you may be doing a bang up job. I just know that we are on the very edge of eternity and everyone that we have an opportunity to reach for the Lord is very important. PLEASE don’t take this as criticism but comment only. I am so passionate about the opportunity to share the Lord that sometimes I bowl people over…and I don’t mean too…but just to urge, show that all were given the Great Commission.
I look forward to our “talking” about this.

I make my own choices to be vocal as a Christian. That My God can and does hold everything together by His very thought. I know Him and He is faithful and will never let me down.
