An Affirmation for 2020 to Help You Trust Yourself More

Hi multipods,

Last week, I shared my new year’s goals with you. But there’s one focus for the coming year that I left out, because I was still working it out for myself. This one may be 2020’s biggest and most personal goal of all.

This year I will be working on trusting myself more.

It’s a sea change that will have to happen bit by bit. I’m not sure how, but I wrote an affirmation for myself, to start. Honestly, I’m a little nervous to share it. But who knows, maybe it could help you, too.

The Affirmation

What I think,

How I feel,

What I love:

These hold more weight to me than other people’s opinions.

I will always listen to others that I trust, but I trust myself above all others.

I know myself better than anyone else knows me, and I check in with myself regularly.

When I listen to, respect, and prioritize my inner voice, I make things happen.

I really need to hear this right now. 

Maybe it’s knowing that if I pursue my TV pilot with the force that will be needed to get it made, I will experience a lot of rejection before the yeses come. But I think it’s bigger than one project. I just instinctively know that my emotional wellbeing, my relationships, and my work would all benefit greatly from a little extra self-trust right now. I want to feel, in my gut, an overall sense that I got this.

I’m realizing that I deserve to feel solid. And, in true multipotentialite fashion, I have way too many plans to spend time second-guessing myself.

Your Turn

We’ve already talked projects, plans and career. But do you have any emotional, internal or mental health goals that you’re working on in 2020?
