How can constantly seeking other people's opinions prevent someone from trusting their own judgement and decision making?<br /><br />In the episode, Dr. Kristie gives five steps someone can take to start trusting themselves more: reflecting on their core values, practicing self-compassion, cultivating self-awareness, looking at their past progress and small goals, and learning to say no.<br /><br />Mindfulness is also an important bonus step.<br /><br />While getting others' perspectives is fine, people need to bring their own perspectives to the table as well and make decisions that feel right for them.<br /><b><br />What we discuss:</b><br /><ul><li>Trusting personal opinions and intuition</li><li>Seeking external validation vs. self-trust in decision-making</li><li>Values-based decision making for personal and professional growth</li><li>Building self-trust through self-awareness</li><li>Celebrate small accomplishments</li><li>Trusting oneself and setting boundaries</li></ul><b><br />Let's connect at IG and FB: @DrKristieOverstreet</b>
