5 Ways to Trust Yourself More
Five takeaways:
- Reconnect with yourself: when a decision brings on feelings of self-doubt, ask yourself, “is this what I really want?” An honest answer to this question will help you impose boundaries on external stressors.
- Practice self-compassion: Remember that mistakes and imperfections are part of the shared human experience. Remember that we are often our own harshest critics.
- Set reasonable goals: Though reaching for the stars is admirable, setting reasonable goals can bring on the thrill of achievement and induce a feeling of momentum.
- Spend time alone: Many people feel discomfort when alone. However, taking time for oneself can give you time to work out your own needs or preferences, and help to center you.
- Master a skill: feelings of self-efficacy– the belief that you can perform and complete hard tasks– create a sense of aptitude and self-belief.
