10 Ways to Build Self Trust and Face your Fears
First of all let’s start by saying we all need to trust our decisions and stop worrying if you’re making the wrong right decision. The thing is there are no right decision or a wrong decision, there is just decisions that ultimately lead you to your highest evolution and your highest growth, and how do you know what that is, you listen to your body and get out of your head with self-limiting beliefs and the stories you have been telling yourself for so long. Some of them look the way we want them to and some of them don’t. But ultimately every decision we make in life is bringing us closer to exactly what we need, whether we want to except that or not. These are all lessons along the way.
Fear of failure, fear of rejection or fear that we’re just not enough, this is the fear we are wanting to face. Fear is a common emotion (that’s right fear is just an emotion) that runs through our lives. And if we let it, fear can keep us locked up in the prison of the comfortable and predictable, which prevents us from reaching our true potential! Living in fear can cause you to be afraid to pursue anything better and can leave you feeling unfulfilled.
Building self trust and facing your fear is about coming into your own power within yourself and building a really strong, compassionate, kind, and understanding relationship with yourself so you can feel you’re supported on your path and you can have everything you have ever wanted in this life.
Here are 10 ways that you can build trust and face your fears
01
Listen to your body develop a solid loving compassionate and understanding relationship with your body and what your body is communicating to you. So many of us are stuck in our heads and our head is where our “ego” lives which is based on fear and it’s trying to move you away from things that might hurt you or make you fail, make you unlovable rejected but everything that you want is outside of your comfort zone. Fear cannot coexist with positive emotions. You cannot feel both scared and joyful, or afraid and peaceful at the same time. Our brains don’t like change or getting out of our comfort zone so it will do anything to keep you “safe” or keep you away from the unknown. There is potential for risk, failure, rejections etc but no risk no reward. We need to get out of our mind and into our body and listen to the wisdom that is held within our body. So for example when you have a decision to make, does this decision make me feel light and peaceful or does it make me feel contracted stressed and anxious. What does my body want right now when I am still? Sit with your body for a minute and feel what it is trying to tell you?
02
Allowance for allowing yourself to be and feel whatever is coming up, not blocking your emotions, not invalidating your experience, not bypassing your experience, it’s really just being in allowance with yourself to be and feel what ever is coming up. Not placing any attachments on outcomes or how it should be/needed to be and accepting it for what it is. Suffering is arguing with reality so the more we can allow, be and feel the more inner peace we will feel.
03
Don’t make anything bad or good, it just is, and what we do with these things and how we perceive these things determines that outcome/our reality. Everything that is happening in your life meet it with curiosity.
04
Whatever is coming up for your now, accept it, process it and trust it. So whatever emotions or feelings you are having feel it and trust it for you and your experience, receive it with no judgement there is something there for you. The feeling of anxiety is physiologically almost the same as the feeling of excitement. Both feelings produce an elevated heart rate and a feeling of butterflies in your stomach. Both might make you sweat and feel like your body is readying itself for action.
05
Everything is working out for you and everything that is coming into your space is allowing you to come into your higher state of consciousness. Allowing everything that is there and not arguing with reality. Trust that everything is working out for you and into your space if it’s people, pain, experiences or illness. It all needed to come into your life to awaken your conciseness to some kind of healing or action or lessons there are no mistakes. How can you use this to better myself and what lesson can you take from this experience.
06
Don’t make yourself bad or wrong, we all have challenges but remember you are a human being (soul) having a human experience. You need to be your own greatest supporter, so you’re never making the wrong decision if something doesn’t go to plan it wasn’t meant to be and something better will come up for you when the time is right. You are learning on this human experience and doing the best you can so give yourself a break and some compassion.
07
Don’t worry about other people opinions they are on their own journey and have their own path to follow. While it can be great to ask for someone opinion but that doesn’t mean you have to do anything with that opinion if it doesn’t feel right. They are your dreams and no one else’s for a reason. Trust the message in your body and get out of your head.
08
Trust that you are guided and supported by a higher power (what ever you believe in) and you don’t have to figure out this life on your own. You are supported by so many people in your life and also have so many past loved ones watching over you.
09
Choose to dictate and create your own reality rather than outsourcing your happiness. Remember that you are the co-creator of your reality you are creating your life whether you are manifesting what you want or what you don’t want. Whatever you are putting your focus on is coming into reality. Rather than being a participant of your life take your power back and allow yourself to come from an internal source and not from outside yourself. Your reality right now you manifested 2, 5, 10 years ago (when ever it was).
10
Choose to trust the guidance within. Develop a relationship with your internal intuition, your gut. Those red flags you see in some people are there for a reason, trust them that is your intuition telling you to run away! We are not in turn with ourself so get out of your head, get into your body, and trust what you are feeling.
