Today, tomorrow, and every day thereafter... Believe in yourself.
🌱
You can work toward rebuilding trust in yourself through rewiring your brain by talking to yourself out loud in the 3rd person.
🌱
"Dana, you're a very capable person."
"Dana, you have wisdom."
"Dana, history indicates that you make relatively good decisions."
🌱
This isn't a one and done method, but rather something that yields benefit when practiced consistently over time. And notice that none of the statements are all fluff or are absolute. I didn't say I'm the wisest in all the land, but rather that I have wisdom. I didn't say I'm capable of anything and everything, but rather that I know I am a capable person in general because I've demonstrated such in various ways over time. Keep it within the realm of what you know to be true. Think about what reassurances you need to hear that you can offer yourself.

Letting go of control is one of the scariest feelings for us. We generally focus on all the worst case scenarios when we think of releasing from trying to control so much (fear-based, scarcity mindset). But the flip side is that we can allow for so much beauty and transformation when we do (abundance mindset; what else is possible?).
