Self-Trust

How many times have you known, and then asked someone else anyway?

Self-trust isn't confidence. It's the willingness to act on your own knowing before anyone agrees with you.

Self-trust is built like any other trust: through kept promises. Small ones, kept to yourself, repeatedly. That is unglamorous and it is the whole mechanism.

Deciding without a committee.

Stubbornness dressed as trust — refusing all input, including useful input.

• Make one small promise to yourself daily and keep it.

• Record decisions and outcomes for a cycle.

• Notice how often your first instinct was right.

• Where do I doubt myself most, and where did that begin?

• What promise to myself have I broken repeatedly?

• What would I decide alone?
