Trusting Yourself

[@hrishikeshsen1141]

I think of you guys as the big brothers I never had...I wish I had role models like you growing up. All the best forwards and thank you for everything you do 🙏🏼❤️

Thank you so much for the kind words!

[@thekajalflaneur]

This is how I feel too! 💕

[@barendkamperman1471]

Thank you. That's a lot to ponder over and cross connect. Part of my past neediness grew from not being who I wanted to be nor doing what I wanted to do. ' Subverting my life to group think and love bombing. I set myself up to be betrayed at times by some I trusted, once dangerously so. However continuing spoken verbal affirmations of self has a liberating effect. Be your own best friend, adviser and encourager.

Got the chance to be the 100th liker for this video, what an honor to do so! Even though I haven't had a formal scheduler for myself like what Calan said on building a greater self-trust, but I strongly resonate with his opinion. To me, the self-trust schedule doesn't have to be like a bunch of to-do lists nor work dues, in another way, having a structured scheduler not only focuses the mind on current activities but also allows individuals to embrace the flow of the moment, that's the way how the schedule's going to work. It's not about overwhelming myself with numerous tasks! So I do that work in a personalized way, like doing the dishes after a long time reading; walking through a park after some push-ups in my house just for relaxing, trying to talk to my mind consciously throughout the whole way; speaking out loud that 'I am worthy, I can live in an authentic life and accept every aspect of myself...' type stuff in front of the paper hanging on my bedroom wall for 3 times each day after I get up from bed and before I go out just to remind me that I'm not the way which I thought about myself any more try to construct a better version a little bit more every single day... These are the things that I called a SCHEDULE. Although I still have a lot of things to learn during my journey, it could be an excellent start for me to gain my power back towards different situations, just like those ways that you guys talked about. I could barely understand those contents in previous videos in this channel because of the lacking of my English listening skills (subtitles, ON🤣), now I can grab your points and understand them smoothly (literally, still working on it though🤗). That achievement makes me feel wonderfully and remarkable lol🤣🤣🤣. Feel like my self-love is deepening. Really appreciate for your content and what you've done for this community, and sorry to keep you so long reading my reply😘. Hope you guys have a good day!🤟🤟🤟

Thank you for sharing your experience of the episode with us. We appreciate hearing from you 😊

Huh, this was very helpful. When I started listening to this episode I thought I generally trusted myself, but this made me learn to talk to myself in a kinder way, and also to mute other people when I have to (which sometimes is very easy for me, but other times it’s extremely hard, depending on the circumstances). So, thanks for this, let keep working on our areas of opportunity, right. Big hugs and always the best vibes!

[@jamesscherrer1642]

Just now tuning in and listening only up until now, I'm scared. I have this "thing" where I ONLY trust myself. I trust very few outsiders. Bc of this, I'm mostly alone. Very few interactions and in some ways, I'm quite comfortable living life this way. It's kind of the opposite of being lost in others and relying on them for support, kindness and friendship. Conversely, I am able to support myself, be kind to myself and be a friend when I need one. I'm trustWORTHY but have little time for being jerked around and run down. As a younger person, I was degraded and berated and lived that way into my adult life. Then in my thirties, I met the most wonderful, supportive man and we spent 32 lovely years together while he reinforced my instinct and abilities. As I said, life is a bit lonely at times but I can always trust myself to be strong, faithful and kind. Im very worthwhile but only to those who really have interest.

Thanks Jose 🙏❤️

[@kso808]

I definitely identify with one of Matt’s trusting in oneself’s philosophy, namely by how I dress. Recently I adopted the philosophy of “Be the change you want to see,” by adopting my inner desires of manner of dressing, as to see how I like to see others’ dress, at least occasionally.
