What is self trust & self belief all about…
Why is it important to dance to one’s own rhythm…
As always I write in my own words from my own experience…
I am a very open person, always have been, maybe due to my human design as a Reflector… all my life I’ve been open to following the ideas & suggestions of others… I’ve gone with the flow of life, in my career, following opportunities, never really knowing what I wanted to do… I just followed what felt right at the time… and what others wanted for me…
This willingness to go with the flow, came from my natural curiosity to try new things, visit new places, meet new people… I always believed that others were honest, had my back, had my high interests at heart… so I always trusted the suggestions, advice & guidance of others… but as I’ve walked my life path, I’ve realised that a lot of people are self serving, out to see what they can take, harvest or siphon from others… out to see how they can benefit from others, by using, manipulating, seeking the time, energy, care, attention, and financial resources of others…
I have a strong sense of loyalty which subconsciously led me to remain far too long, in situations which were depleting me… jobs, relationships… I look back and, with emotional maturity acquired through self healing work, I can see that I played my part in all of the life situations I found myself in… in fact I attracted all of my experiences to me, so I could grow and become stronger, and see and experience the dark side of life… life has certainly opened my eyes and strengthened me mentally, emotionally and spiritually… there not much out there which would surprise me nowadays…
I went through a phase of pushing down and blocking my own intuition, following and trusting the advice of another… this led to me becoming weakened in every area of my life… I somehow found the strength to pick myself up and move on…
During my period of hermit mode, since 2020, I’ve learnt that everyone is unique, we all have our own life path to navigate, and only we truly know what is right for us… everything we need is inside of us… our inner knowing, which is connected to our higher self, our spirit…
So once I started going inward, doing the inner work, self healing, self reflecting, I learnt to trust myself more, to believe in my own intuition, gifts & abilities… it’s all been a journey to make me stronger… so I can go out and help others, by speaking my truth, and sharing what I’ve learnt along my life path…
I’ve often felt my life hasn’t started yet, like I have some big mission ahead, to help humanity… in a spiritual way… let’s see how things unfold… but in the meantime, I trust my own inner guidance & intuition first… I will always listen to others, and consider their advice, but in the end I trust myself first… anyway, there is never a wrong decision, or a mistake… every experience helps us learn, grow and evolve into a higher version of ourself…
Look back over your own life, and review all the times you followed the advice of others against your own… how did things turn out… and then review how life turned out when you followed and trusted your own intuition and desires…
So believe in yourself, trust yourself first… your intuition and self trust will never let you down…
And so be it 🙏🏻
With love💗
