Okay,

So here's the thing.

Listen to these words and pay attention to what shows up in your body.

I don't trust.

I don't trust.

I don't trust you.

I don't trust life.

I don't trust myself.

You can even say those out loud yourself and just notice what shows up.

Notice the weight that those carry.

To lack in trust or to have disbelief or to be living from this place is so heavy.

I don't trust.

I don't trust life.

I don't trust that things are going to work out.

I don't trust myself to follow through on that which I say or commit to.

I don't trust you to have my best interest in mind or to take care of me or to see me as one of your brothers or family members or you know and this this lack of trust is so intense and even if you never ever say it out loud pay attention to where you are energetically broadcasting that signal into your world.

Maybe it's the ways in which you you don't trust yourself.

You stop showing up.

You stop speaking up.

You stop making commitments.

You haven't set a goal in a few years.

You find it difficult to make plans.

You whatever it is if you don't trust yourself it's going to show up.

It's going to manifest somewhere in your world.

If you don't trust life maybe you stop taking risks.

Maybe you disconnect from your dreams.

Maybe you feel a deep sense of hopelessness but it's because when you're broadcasting that signal or living from the place of I don't trust then of course your actions are going to reflect that because if you can't trust life you can't trust yourself and you can't trust other people then man what are you doing and so I'm here to invite in the flip side of the coin and this is this is a very simple tangible practice actually but if you take an actual coin and you just recognize that there's two sides to every coin and you just if the one side is I don't trust flip it over what's on the opposite side what's its polarity yin to yang the balance of opposites the duality of this world that we live in must contain both and so if I don't trust is on one side then I trust must be on the opposite and notice how that feels to be energetically broadcasting that signal even just to say it out loud do it with me I trust I trust life I trust you I trust myself oh you can feel the shoulders drop down and like a sense of relaxation enters the body knowing that you don't have to do this alone I trust I trust that I'm supported I'm trusting that there's something bigger than me that is also taking care of me I trust that the people around me see me I trust that we're looking out for each other humanity I know it doesn't look like that but there are people out there who will maybe there's some small example in your life where I trust actually applies and I trust myself and even if it feels a little bit like the energetic of that is so much more peace inducing and relaxing but if there has been a long history of breaking trust with yourself which is as simple as saying you're going to do something and not doing it or not setting a boundary or not speaking a need or feeling the whisper of your heart's calling and then denying it over and over refusing the call this will all break trust deteriorate it slowly and so there is this process of rebuilding rekindling that trust but if you just feel into that energetic of I trust myself or it's possible that I trust myself or I'm capable of learning to trust myself infusing possibility to an affirmation can sometimes be the difference between believing it and totally rejecting it and when we're setting a goal or a vision for our lives or a dream or if we are even saying an affirmation it's important that at least 70 to 80 percent of our being believes it because if it's any less than that if it's any less than 70 it's just going to it carries no weight we just reject it immediately and so if you have to add possible it's possible that I trust myself I'm capable of trusting myself that might be the difference in embodying that versus totally rejecting it now just feel into those three I trust life I trust myself I trust others how would you live differently if that was the case I trust myself oh man how does that feel what comes up I trust life God,

Source,

Spirit,

Cosmos,

Universe,

Life,

Nature,

Whatever term you want to use I trust that which is bigger than me I have a relationship with that which is bigger than me and I don't fully understand it but I choose to trust it because the option on the other side of coin is to choose not to trust it and that leaves me with a lot more work to do that leaves me being forced to try to make it through life all on my own making everything happen for myself as if there's no other greater force that's animating the trees the oceans the birds the plants the the wind the sun and somehow I'm placed here on an island trying to just figure it out very different energetic so with that said inviting in just a few things here from this one is the use your coin at any point you find yourself mistrusting distrusting disbelieving overwhelmed pressurized thinking a negative thought a thought that's not serving you a thought that's in opposition to the dream vision life that you have for yourself flip the coin see what's on the other side by nature of the world we live in there must be a duality a polarity and opposite so you can choose to think any thought and if it if your body or your mind rejects it infuse possibility let me know how this goes give it a shot in your own life big love y'all ciao
