The Impact of Chaos on Self-Trust
The increasing chaos in the world makes it challenging to trust ourselves and return to our true selves. Despite advice to be gentle with oneself, people often find themselves overwhelmed and adding more tasks to their busy lives. This disconnect between giving advice and practicing it is common, creating a need for reflection on how we treat ourselves compared to how we treat others.
