Trust Yourself

When making decisions and looking back at the things you've done in the past, trust yourself.

Trust Yourself
The Daily Evolver

I've often found myself sitting and going back over past conversations or deeds and wondering if I did the wrong thing. If I could have said something differently and had things turn out differently. Just doubting everything, really.

But after years of doing this, I've finally come to realize something.

You have to simply trust in yourself and everything you do. You react to different situations in ways that are normal for you, depending on your background and personality. So don't start doubting it and wondering if you should have done something different. You are your own person, you have your own thoughts, feelings and way of doing things. Trust yourself.

Trust yourself to make the right decision when it feels like your world is falling apart.

Trust yourself when you're giving a speech and you're absolutely terrified of how your audience will react.

Trust yourself when making an important decision, go with whatever feels right. Don't let other people's opinions or voices stop you from making the decision that is good for you. It doesn't matter so much if it's going to make things change for someone else if it's going to make your life better.

If you're in a relationship and doubting something, anything in that relationship, trust yourself to make the right decision on what you should do. Possibly try talking to your partner first, and think things through when you have a calmer mind. Don't let yourself make an in the moment decision when you're angry or feeling anything else super intensely. That usually leads up to you doubting yourself, and therefore having to take a while to trust yourself to make decisions again.

I believe that a person should often put themselves first, unless a decision will effect any children they have. Than you should probably think about how your decisions will effect them as well. But more often than not, you have to be able to take care of yourself and trust in yourself to make your life a great place. Worrying about the past things you've done or about what will happen to other people if they get hurt shouldn't be your priority. You should often be #1 in your world, so make your world the best that it can be.

I often have struggled with trusting my emotions and letting them all show, especially in a relationship. I'm afraid that somehow it'll make me seem crazy and my partner will want to leave me for someone who is a little more sane. But who doesn't sometimes think that? However, I have let the worry of my emotions and my actions bother me to the point that I made an in the moment decision that I wish I hadn't. At the same time, making those decisions can sometimes be the best thing in your life - something else that I have come to realize.

So if you do make an in the moment decision, trust it. Trust yourself and what your mind is telling you to do. Your sub-conscious is talking to you, and you just have to trust it because sometimes it's for the better.

You never know, maybe your in the moment decisions will make your life the adventure you've always looked for.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
