Reclaiming your sovereignty (aka, being the boss of your own life) is as much about cultivating a deep, strong relationship with yourself as it is about regaining control over your life.
Because to regain that autonomy (aka, your ability to choose) and begin choosing the direction of your life, you absolutely must have an unshakable foundation of SELF-TRUST.
Self-trust is built through repetitively exercising your freedom to choose for yourself.
It’s like a muscle: the more you use it, the stronger it will become. This makes logical sense, but one thing that I see over and over again is how often we fail to exercise our autonomy because we literally do not see the opportunities we have in which to choose.
It's speaking up about your preference to go to that Mexican place with the killer margaritas on your dinner date, rather than saying "I don't care where we go!"
It's saying "I can't make that work on such short notice" to your sister, who asks you to emergency dog-sit when she realizes she forgot to book the dog sitter for her music festival this weekend.
Your inner self wants to be protected, defended, and listened to. Your inner self wants to go to that incredible Mexican fusion place with the kickass margaritas. She WANTS to have her own weekend plans, and not rescue her sister every time she is irresponsible.
Every time you ignore what your inner self wants or put someone else's needs above your own, you erode a bit of self-trust. Eventually, your inner self will learn that her wants aren’t as important as your partner’s, and her time isn’t as valuable as your sister's.
It's time to earn that self-trust back.
