The Jim Fortin Podcast Ep 158: Do You Need To Trust Yourself More?
This is huge for a lot of people, and truth be told, for many years I didn’t trust myself either. That is, until I recognized that I’m going to share with you in this episode.
As you’ll hear in this episode, “trusting yourself” is such a generic way to look at ourselves. It’s generally never about trusting ourselves it’s more about trusting our ability to create a desired outcome.
Often times we want XYZ in life, a desired outcome, but we don’t act because we don’t trust we’ll get the outcome. And, then, if you’re like me, you’d be frozen, not act and then be frustrated because you were not getting what you want in life. And, my old thought paradigm was, “I didn’t get XYZ because because I did not trust myself to take action and leap.” As you’ll hear, that’s an ineffective way to approach this.
When we stop to think about it, it’s not about trusting ourselves, it’s actually about trusting our ability, yet we experience it as a lack of trust in self – which is what I meant by looking at it generically.
In this episode I put a whole new understanding on the concept of trusting ourselves. One that will empower you to take action on things that you want in life without regard to how much you trust yourself.
What you’ll discover is that trusting ourselves is often sabotaged because we don’t expect that we’ll get an outcome, and in that moment it’s no longer about trust, it’s about expectation.
Transformational Takeaway: When you let go of an expectation and attachment to an outcome, self-trust becomes easy.
