Yesterday was one of those "lesson" days that are hard to ignore. While I was finishing off my "Trust Yourself" message for my Live The Life You Lead contribution I was anxiously awaiting an email from a friend confirming an urgent call I'd requested. The purpose of our call? So I could ask her if she thought I was doing the right thing.
The irony of the situation did not escape me and I was completely transparent as we talked about what stopped me from trusting myself in this situation. We had a good laugh AND we talked honestly about my insecurities. We also talked about recent events where I had set myself up for some challenging drama. My friend asked "So, how did we get here in the first place." I knew the answer. I hadn't trusted myself.
So I sat down and read my article - again. I went for a walk, journalled and meditated. All the things that I knew keep me connected inward and with the divine energy that is always informing me. And in the end? Just as I trust that my clients will find their inner wisdom, I knew that I could trust myself.
