I work to build a stable sense of trust in myself.

"Authenticity is a collection of choices that we have to make every day."

Do you trust yourself?

I find that so many of the people I work with try to motivate themselves by telling themselves over and over again that they can not be trusted.

It’s a function of anxiety and trauma to always imagine the worst possible outcome so that you feel “prepared”. And for most people this turns into expecting the worst from themselves.

The problem is, this kind of mindset doesn’t actually protect us from anything.

It causes a lot of stress on our bodies and also bombards our self-esteem with negative self talk.

Use today's journal prompts and affirmation to turn things around!
