Trusting oneself

I think, to an outsider, trusting oneself looks a lot like aimless wondering and time wasting but it’s actually letting your inner wisdom take over.

For example the inner critic might say:

Why the hell are we spending so much time making fart noises? We have a report to write!

But instinct is, in an abstract way, saying:

This is the best thing for us right now.

To take a stab at the reasoning behind the reply – Maybe deep down the unconscious knows that we’ve been pushing our brain too hard for too long and it’s on the edge of sanity and just needs a couple of minutes of silliness to feel whole again before doing this soulless report. 

I think our inner critic wants us to be robotic and machine like at all times.

Go, go, go!

Do, do, do!

Whether as our inner wisdom knows that sometimes it’s better not to rush for the bus and instead walk into that antique shop you’ve always been curious about.

So I think trusting oneself is hearing the inner critic complain about time wasting and reassuring them that our unconscious has got this.
