“Today I will trust myself instead of doubting every move.”
I decided to change the intention of the day a bit. Rather than “Today I will back myself instead of doubting every move” I simply changed ‘back’ to ‘trust’. It felt better to me. In any case, today’s session centered around confidence.
Matt Cooke leads us through a very brief but important meditation that meant a lot to me today. He says that confidence doesn’t have to be bold. It isn’t loud or brash and it isn’t about “having all the answers”; it’s about believing in yourself and trusting your decisions. It’s the part of you that keeps moving forward even when your inner (doubting) voice tries to take the wheel.
Then Matt asks us to take a deep breath and think of something we’ve been putting off, whatever that might be. He tells us to imagine a light in the center of our chests, one that grows with each full breath that we take. He encourages us to let it expand as we repeat to ourselves, “I trust myself.”
I feel that today’s lesson, together with Days 13 and 16, have made a significant impact on me and have helped me to clarify a few things as well as to lift my spirits and give me the boost that I needed to have faith in myself, my goals, and the courage to keep moving forward.
I hope that you enjoyed today as well and that it gives you a bit of confidence in yourself. Trust it. And when that little nagging voice comes a-callin’, stop for a moment, take a deep breath, and don’t let go of the wheel.
