Developing Self-Trust.

Self-trust is having a reliance or integrity in yourself and your choices. Developing self-trust can help people become more independent and confident in themselves but do not believe that they know all the answers or are better than their peers, it is a good practice of balance. Unfortunately, self-trust is becoming progressively more difficult to develop in newer generations, but why is that? A major problem with people developing self-trust nowadays is the introduction of social media at a young age. Social media is linked to causing many self-esteem issues because people will compare their lives to others, but it can also leed to people gaining inflated egos with attention they may receive. One can’t develop good self-trust if they do not have an honest and positive view of themselves and their lives, how can one have a level head and trust their choices if they believe they are worthless? The key to having self-trust and developing it to get to the “good life” is to be genuine. Living life how you want to live it and making decisions based off of your wants and needs helps create a great base for self-trust to develop, but many are unable to be their genuine selves because they are effected by other peoples views of them. You can’t be confident in the choices you make for yourself when you are not acting for yourself but others, which is why it is important to ignore what other people think of you, to an extent, and do what makes you feel fulfilled. Acting for yourself instead of performing for others is the first and most important step in developing self-trust, and you can never truly be content in life until self-trust is fully developed.
