TRUSTING YOURSELF AND YOUR DECISIONS
 





Trusting yourself to make good decisions, and trusting your ability to show up big in your life in your own personal follow-through changes everything. If you've ever struggled with indecision, overthinking or lack of self-trust, this episode is for you.  This episode will teach you how to practice self-trust, how to not belabor or second-guess yourself, and how to get out of the spiral of overthinking.

 
In this episode of The Confidence Podcast, we're talking about:


How to build self-trust, and how to trust big decisions you need to make
How to be someone who does what they say they will do
How to become a good bet - trusting that your effort will always pay off

 

REVIEW OF THE WEEK: 
 


The COC takes the podcast to the next level.   . I could have just watched the workshop to save myself hours of listening to podcasts. What I loved about this workshop were the exercises to help evaluate failures, and handle thoughts about future failures. -Trevor F.




 
TRUSTING YOURSELF - HOW TO DO IT
 


Know yourself.



Establish a baseline of friendship with yourself.



Actionables:



Write out a list of times when you have made good choices, worthy of trust.Write out another list where you didn't trust yourself - and why that makes sense. 


 
PAST BROKEN SELF-TRUST IS A GOOD THING
 


I spent years second-guessing and overthinking because I trusted hard - and the wrong people.



Like anything, decision-making isn't something that just comes naturally.



It's a skill that we have to learn, we have to practice, we have to strengthen.



Therefore, the decisions you made in the past make sense.



How does it make sense?Would I do it differently?Next time what will I change?



We get stuck in overthinking and tapping into other people for decisions and over-confirming because we cast judgment on past "bad" decisions.



Instead of labeling a decision "good" or "bad," what would it look like to label it as the decision you wanted to make?  … that whatever the decision, you know that you can make it a good decision.


 
HOW TO "BET ON YOURSELF"
 


The best thing Brandon has ever said to me is: "you're a good bet."



I'm going to say the same to you.



How can you create a personal where you are a good bet?



Show up for yourselfBe impeccable to your word.Have your own back.Train
