Reclaiming Trust is a Journey Back to Yourself
Trust. It’s one of the most fragile yet essential parts of our human experience. When life takes an unexpected turn or we find ourselves in the depths of pain and struggle, trust is often the first thing to break. We look around for something - - or someone - - to hold onto, only to feel like there’s nothing stable enough to anchor us.
I’ve been there. I’ve walked through seasons of my life where confusion and heartache blurred my sense of direction. Life felt unbearable at times, and I searched desperately for answers. I believed trust could only come from the outside - - a person, a circumstance, or even a promise that things would get better. But time and experience revealed something much deeper and more profound: the trust I was searching for wasn’t out there. It was within me all along.
Learning to trust myself was a journey of small, deliberate steps. I had to confront the destructive thoughts that hijacked my mind in moments of chaos and uncertainty. I learned to pause instead of reacting. I sat in stillness, even when it felt uncomfortable, and allowed myself the space to just be.
This wasn’t easy at first. My mind wanted to predict, judge, and control what would happen next. But those quiet, mindful pauses became a refuge. They reminded me that I didn’t need to have all the answers to move forward - - I only needed to trust that I had the resilience to face whatever was in front of me.
This shift wasn’t just about navigating hard times; it was about rebuilding an internal foundation that could carry me through any storm. Trusting myself meant embracing the present moment, even when it felt chaotic, and allowing emotions to surface without judgment. It meant stepping away from the need to fix, explain, or predict and instead choosing to breathe and trust that clarity would come in its own time.
What I’ve come to understand is this: trusting yourself is the most empowering gift you can give to your life. It’s not about trusting others or waiting for circumstances to feel “right.” It’s about realizing that your strength, intuition, and ability to navigate challenges are already within you.
There’s immense freedom in knowing that you don’t have to rely on the external to feel secure. When you trust yourself, you create a solid foundation that allows you to face uncertainty with grace and move forward with confidence.
So, how do you begin this journey of self-trust?
Pause and Breathe: In moments of chaos, take a mindful pause. Allow yourself to feel grounded in the present, even if everything feels overwhelming.
Let Go of Control: Release the need to predict what’s ahead. Trust isn’t about knowing the outcome—it’s about trusting your ability to handle it.
Embrace Your Emotions: Don’t judge your feelings or push them aside. Acknowledge them, sit with them, and allow them to move through you.
Focus on Your Inner Strength: Remind yourself of what you’ve already overcome. Your past challenges are proof of your resilience.
I’ve seen firsthand how this journey can transform your life. It’s not about avoiding pain or bypassing struggle - - it’s about learning how to meet life’s challenges with trust and confidence.
