Not everything that someone says to you warrants your attention, especially if it’s unkind. If, however, you can learn something or change for the better, then something is absolutely worth it!
Second-guessing often comes from confusing self-trust with certainty. Trusting yourself doesn’t mean knowing you’ve made the perfect decision. It means trusting that you can make a thoughtful choice, learn from the outcome, and adjust if needed. The real goal should be to stop treating doubt as evidence that the decision you made was wrong.
It took me a while to trust myself. As early as your own home, the seeds of doubt are planted. With consistent practice you come to trust your inner voice above the outside voices. Thanks, Jess.
Thank you for reading and commenting, Adela! I think it’s worth noticing how seeds of doubt at first planted in the house and we must discover our outside voice!
Have you ever noticed how quickly someone else's confidence can make you question your own judgment?
Sometimes another perspective helps us see something we've missed. Other times, we start doubting ourselves simply because someone disagrees.
You can be open to being wrong without assuming everyone else is right.
I'm curious: Do you tend to trust your first impression, or do you find yourself checking with other people before deciding what you think?
