Moving Through The World With TRUST
filed in New Beginnings on Jun 24, 2007
Trust is such a little word but such a important thing. Yet, everyone must learn to trust. And that does not mean trusting blindly.
How do you trust again, when you have been betrayed, hurt, deceived by someone you loved? How do you fall in love again and trust another? This is a concern of the heart. The answer to this is simple. You must first learn to trust yourself. There are no guarantees in life. And, if you do not trust you cannot fully love. When you learn to trust yourself you will be able to do what is necessary to take care of yourself, whatever that looks like. If you trust yourself, you will always pay attention to how you feel and never shut down or numb out because you are in pain. We will always find what you need and give to yourself. When you trust yourself you take the time to listen to your body, mind, and heart with compassion. How do you do this?
l) Pay attention to your heart? What is it saying?
2) Listen to your body. Your body gives you signals all the time to how you are experiencing people, events and any circumstances in your life. Learn what your signals mean.
3) Get advice or consult with others that you trust when you are confused and uncertain, but always go inside and check out with yourself if it feels right for you. Never give your power away to others, or believe that they know you better than you know yourself.
4) If you have doubt over some decision, relationship or event. It is okay to say “I cannot do this until the doubt has been put to rest”. Do not act until you are ready.
5) Connect with your soul. Go to nature a church, meditate, get quiet, and ask for guidance in whatever way feels right for you, then wait and listen.
As you take these steps you will strengthen your relationship with yourself. There is no guarantees that we will never be hurt again, but if you stay present with yourself and never leave yourself you will move through the experience with greater ease.
