The Importance of Trusting Yourself.

February 23, 2016 Ann 5 Comments

The_Importance_of_trusting_yourself

Lately I’ve been working on being more vulnerable in my relationships with people and as a yoga teacher.  I’ve been making eye contact with students, having longer one and one conversations with new clients, softening my posture as I stand in front of the room, not repeating my movements and so on.  To keep myself accountable I’ve been asking my fellow teachers to give me feedback on their experience of me when I teach and if they felt that I’m embodying vulnerability.  Unfortunately, when I would ask each teacher,  I came back with mixed messages.  Some people said yes, some people said no.  Everyone had their own opinion about my progress.  My response to this?  Total frustration. I was hoping that my feedback would be consistent because I felt more open and that I had softened.  I took it as a failure, went home and cried.

And then I had a aha moment.

For a long time I’ve been looking to other people to validate me.  My thoughts.  My instincts.  I needed another person’s agreement to ensure that I was right about what I thought and could trust how I felt in any given situation.  I would feel something instinctually and then have to ask five friends if they agreed with me to make sure I was “right”.  Since I’m an intuitive person you would think I’d have no problem trusting myself.  Well.  I have a strong intuition yes.  I also have a lot of fear.  Fear of being wrong, fear of putting myself out there and getting hurt.  Fear that someone won’t like me.  Fear that I am crazy.  Because of that, I look for agreement that usually doesn’t come and I feel even more confused or deflated.

So after my post yoga melt down, i had this thought.  Maybe, instead of needing someone to tell me I was more open or vulnerable, I needed to trust that if I feel that, I am.  Maybe I didn’t need someone to tell me I’m doing the work, to know that I’m doing the work.  That not everyone sees things the same way.  And maybe, there is no maybe.  Trust.  I had to trust in my own process.

Ultimately I know I’m on the right track and am making progress in my personal transformation.  What’s important here and why I wanted to share this with you is this. We all have moments of self doubt, of not knowing which decision is the right one. That is the best time to get still, get quiet and turn your attention inward.  Listen.  Trust that whatever you decide is exactly what you are supposed to do.

    I am just like this!
    I learned, through astrology, that when you constantly seek the feedback of others and the approval of others, you silence your own voice. Why would anyone come to me for help if I have to go to 8 people and my dog just to decide on what movie to watch?
    Once I started to listen to myself, and validate my truth, people started to listen to me more and I was able to get to my end goal; to help others!

    Great post and site! (*but, you knew that already ;)*)

Don’t assume something will always be there. W Don’t assume something will always be there. 

With the way the world is changing on a daily basis you would think that lesson would be ingrained in us by now. 

And it’s funny how I still hear this: “I’ll do it next time.” Or “I’ll sign up for the next round.” Or even the classic: “I’ll tell them the next time I see them.” 

Here’s the thing. 

If you feel the pull to do something and stop yourself because you think they’ll be another opportunity....I’m here to tell you that nothing is guaranteed. 

That thing you want to do may not be possible a month from now or more accurately when you feel “ready”. 

You can talk yourself in to or out of anything.  The question is, are the things you’re talking yourself out of are probably things that will help you move forward. 

So do yourself a favour.  Don’t wait.

Alright, let’s have this moment. I hear this a Alright, let’s have this moment. 

I hear this all the time. 

Hell I’ve even said it. 

The idea that it’s “coming”. Don’t worry, the man is coming!  The money is coming! The magick is coming!  That thing that you’re waiting for to happen and will make everything better....is coming!!!

Here’s the thing. 

Talking about things as if they are “coming” is keeping them in the future.  So you will always be in the state of waiting for it to happen. 

Try this instead. 

It’s happening!  It’s happening now!  It’s here!!!

Feels better right?

You are a powerful creator.  Therefore, you have the ability to attract what you want. And you are making your dreams a reality by painting on that sexy canvas that is life.....so stop putting it in the future! 

Own it now. 

Because you deserve it you delicious monster. 😘😘😘

Well, it was a weekend I’ll tell you that. Merc Well, it was a weekend I’ll tell you that.  Mercury went out with a bang as it usually does.  Having a day off means I get the time to regroup and relax which is how I plan to spend this snow day. 

I took this shot from my window and felt a moment of appreciation for all the things that I can.  It really is beautiful...the idea that something can just fall from the sky and blanket us with a fresh coating of snow....much like the power we posses to start new, to wipe the slate clean if you will. 

So I’ll have gratitude, continue to feel my feelings and disconnect from this for a moment so I can refresh, wipe my own slate clean and continue to build on what I’ve created.
