The role of self-trust in living a soulfull, purposefull life.

Living a soulfull, purposefull life is an on-going, daily practice. 

For years I missed the role that self-trust played in this practice. 

What is self-trust?

Self-trust is relying upon one's inner guidance. 

It’s trusting the tugs of our heart, the whispers of our soul, the hunches of our intuition, the truth of our needs, the call of our dreams and imagination.

Thankfully, self-trust is a learned skill that we can develop and a state of being we can choose. 

Building my self-trust and choosing to trust my inner guidance has unlocked a new sense of freedom. 

Freedom from other people’s expectations and needs. Freedom from all the “shoulds”. Freedom from feeling responsible for other people’s experiences.

This doesn’t mean it’s all puppy dogs and rose petals when you have self-trust.

This is where you get to practice the other dimension of self-trust that Linda and Charlie Bloom describe as “having the conviction that you will be kind and respectful to yourself regardless of the outcome of your efforts.”

I’m learning that being able to do this brings a freedom all of its own, too.  Nothing like turning down the volume of my inner critic!
 
I know you know those moments of relying upon your own inner guidance. Here’s to more of them. Listen close to yourself and believe in your wisdom. No one knows you better than you. 

If you’d like to accelerate the process of building your self-trust, join my Soul Purpose Program: Finding the Clarity, Confidence and Self-Trust to Give the Gifts that are Truly Yours. 

In this program, I will guide you through the process of clarifying and creating your own "inner compass".

If you want to see if this work and my style are a match, come join my Free Discovery Workshop on Thursday, June 7, 5:00-6:00 pm to get a taste of what the program will be like!

Or, book a 20-minute Explore Call with me and we'll noodle on it together.

Until next time, trust the direction of your inner guidance.
