Self-trust seems to be featuring in a lot of conversations I'm having at the moment, so it feels very aligned to read your words this week, Wade. I'd say that living from self-trust (when it happens - it doesn't always, ha ha) arises from a regular and healthy experience of solitude. I can come back to myself when I'm not with others and when I can access silence to support what I'm really thinking and feeling.
I know I've self-abandoned when I feel a gnawing sense of anxiety - not the kind that comes from entering fruitful new expansive territory but rather the kind of anxiety that's focused on how I might be perceived by others, or a fear of getting it wrong in some way.
Thank you for writing this. I really appreciated receiving this at this time.
