“Self-trust” is basically your ability to rely on your own judgment, feelings, and decisions, even when things are uncertain.

It doesn’t mean you’re always right. It means:

• you listen to your internal signals (gut, values, intuition)
• you don’t constantly outsource decisions to others
• and when you mess up, you trust yourself to recover, not collapse

• keeping promises to yourself
• making decisions and standing by them
• handling mistakes without spiraling
