Trusting Yourself - Feeling Good in the Decisions You're Making

 Trusting Yourself - Feeling Good in the Decisions You're Making:

First let's focus on action and getting things done as a part of trusting yourself. Have courage/resilience/personal bravery. Don't feel deflated or put off by any challenges that are in your way. They always make the story more interesting. 

If you think of anyone you admire or any brilliant documentary you've ever seen or even any movie you've seen, it's never a smooth sailing story. Why? Because that's freaking- BORING!!!! That also doesn't make for entertaining times. This also means that  when good things happen you don't feel excited about them. There's no sweetness if there's no roughness mixed in there.

Things ARE working. Be brave and courageous. Persist with the things that you want. Keep that in mind this week and don't be discouraged by the obstacles that come up. They are inevitable. They're always going to come up but you have this in the bag, you just have to stay the course. 

Another way you may need to trust yourself and your decision making is you may be having creative opportunities come your way that maybe you weren't anticipating. We need to listen to ourselves in order to make these things happen. So whatever is going on in your life I'm sure the people around you have lots of opinions about" how you should do it ,where you should put your energy, and how you should write the email," ; but you need to listen to your own feelings on the matter. Let your feelings be your messenger. Let them guide you into the kind of action that you take.

You need to take positive daily action to set yourself up to feeling consistently good. For example, every morning saying what you are thankful for, working out, etc. When you feel really good you can take actions that will perpetuate that positive feeling. But if you feel like shit you're going to make decisions that are not that great and then you're not building any positive momentum. 

Trust in your own intuitive knowing and being open to creative opportunities because I promise they are right around the corner.

Lastly, Become a hermit! People hear "hermit" and instantly think "oh my gosh that means I am going to be alone forever." Which is totally not what that means. Being a hermit is about spending time by yourself so that you can really get in tune with who you are. It's about being introspective. Spending time by yourself so that you can really figure out how the fuck you feel about things. Because when you're scrolling through your phone constantly, and you're always listening to other people, and you're watching television, etc, you don't have any space to think clearly about who you are, what you want, and where you want to go. You are constantly being influenced by everybody else. 

Take some time this week to spend alone. Think about how you feel and what you want to do. It's really important that we do this. If you don't have a meditation practice this is a good time to start one. If you hate meditation like I do, just go for a walk. Leave your phone on silent and see what comes up for you. See what pops up in your mind. I think you'll be amazed by the insights that you're getting from just spending some time by yourself.

When we say "I don't know" in decision making we are just reinforcing shitty beliefs. Because actually you DO know. You just have to believe and trust in yourself. 

Your homework this week is I want you to comment on my post or write down in your journal five qualities that you are really proud of. Five things about yourself that you really love. Anything that makes you feel good about who you are as a person.

1. My positivity and making everyone else feel good about themselves
