Read More »Looking for ways to trust yourself more? Taking time to get to know yourself and your needs is a good start. Self-compassion and quality alone time can help you achieve this. Many experiences can cause you to lose trust in yourself — or stop you from building this trust in the first place. If you have low self-trust you might second-guess yourself constantly. You may worry so much about making the wrong decision that you can’t make decisions at all. You might rely on others’ opinions instead of your own. To start building trust with yourself, consider exploring your values, boundaries, and skills to remind yourself of what’s important to you. Reconnecting with yourself can also involve listening to your own needs, making time for self-care, and practicing being kind to yourself. By strengthening your connection with yourself, you may also gain renewed confidence and self-esteem. It may not be an easy process, but the more you practice trusting yourself the more naturally it’ll come to you. 1. Reconnect with yourself Many people have difficulty trusting their instincts due to traumatic or difficult experiences that made them lose trust in themselves. For example, if you grew up with a parent who used gaslighting (a form of manipulation where the person makes you doubt your reality), you may feel that you cannot trust your own opinions or views. You might therefore have a constant need to second-guess yourself. These experiences make it difficult to build self-trust, so it helps to start small. When you’re in a situation where you feel indecisive, consider asking yourself, “is this what I really want?” If you repeat this question often, you may find your inner voice or inner knowing becoming clearer as you learn to attune yourself to your wants, needs, and desires. Learning to tend to your wants and needs can look like choosing where to eat for dinner, or deciding on which movie to watch. Over time, you may find you have stronger self-advocacy (the ability to stand up for your needs and what’s important to you). When you are better able to connect with yourself, it becomes easier to build personal boundaries. This includes learning how to say “no” even when others want you to say something different. Personal boundaries help you distance yourself from harmful actions or relationships. 2. Practice self-compassion Sometimes, a mistrust of yourself can come from a lack of self-compassion. Dr. Kristin Neff, a leading researcher in self-compassion, says that many of us are more compassionate with others than we are with ourselves. According to a 2022 review by Neff, one element of self-compassion is shared humanity — the understanding that our mistakes and imperfections are part of the shared human experience. In other words, every human is imperfect, just like you, and that’s okay. The next time you make a mistake, try and remind yourself that everyone makes mistakes. This situation does not define you as a person. Speaking kindly to yourself will make it more likely that you can learn from your mistakes, instead of shutting down from them. This is a great way to build self-trust. If you’re interested in learning more, Neff’s self-compassion website offers information, research, and free guided exercises to help you get started.

Although it’s wonderful to reach for the proverbial stars in the long term, it can help to also set some reasonable goals that you can achieve in a shorter time. If you only aim high you may become frustrated with yourself when you take a long time to reach them. This could impact your self-trust. Experts recommend setting SMART goals , which stands for goals that are: specific
