How to Trust Yourself More: A Surprising Method to Build Self-Confidence

Do you often find yourself seeking other people's opinions before making a decision? I used to constantly ask for advice and validation from others—whether it was about writing a thought piece, creating art, or making any important choice. I thought it would help me make the right decisions.

However, over time, I realized this habit made me lose touch with my true self and my own intuition. Relying on others' opinions caused me to doubt my instincts and question my capabilities.

So, I started practicing making decisions on my own. I began listening to my intuition, trusting my instincts, and taking action from a place of self-trust. This shift wasn’t easy at first, but it transformed my life. The more I trusted myself, the more empowered, aligned, and true to myself I felt.

When you practice not asking for other people’s opinions and take action based on your own decisions, you build your self-trust muscle. You start to recognise and honour your inner voice, which is crucial for personal growth and self-confidence.

So, there you go! I invite you to try this today. Start small—make a few decisions on your own and notice the changes in your field as you begin to trust yourself more. Over time, you’ll find that this practice will strengthen your self-trust and bring you closer to your authentic self.
