Self trust requires us to build trust.
Building trust requires that we listen to our bodies and our hearts, and that we acknowledge the ways we have not always given them what they needed.
We cannot build trust without taking accountability.
When we can see clearly how we have self abandoned or mistreated our bodies and hearts as a form of coping, we can begin to make amends.
Making amends goes far beyond expressing a desire to do better.
It requires us to keep showing up, and keep making good and loving choices for ourselves, one day at a time.
As we build consistency, patterns change and trust is built.
It happens slowly, one bite at a time.
We cannot rush this process.
Self trust is not about treating our bodies like machines that "should" function the way we want them to.
It is about being in right relationship with ourselves and taking responsibility for rebuilding that relationship with love and devotion.
It is a great privilege to be a guardian of a body.
It is a great privilege to be the caretaker of a heart that can feel such love and the full spectrum of emotion.
Just for today, let us be kind to ourselves and others.
In warmth and light,
Krystle
