In today’s Workshop Wednesday, we’re doing an activity on building self-trust. Self-trust is a foundational part of our ROOTED model. It’s the “D” in the acronym - deepening self-trust. Our LMHC mentioned this in the weekly video:
One of the ways that we deepen self-trust is by making commitments to ourselves, following through, and celebrating the success along the way. That’s exactly our activity for the week! It’s a three-step process for building self-trust.
We set a goal for the week or make a commitment to ourselves.
We track our success along the way. Noticing that we are doing the thing that aligns with where we want to be!
Reward ourselves for the progress we’ve made. Celebrating the wins as they come.
Here at EWCS, our framework is heavily rooted (pun intended) in the micro-steps that get us to our big picture goals. We chunk down the goals into daily steps, we recognize the progress as we go, and we learn and grow as we transform into the change that we wish to see in the world.
As mentioned in the video, the internal dialogue that we speak to ourselves heavily influences if we believe in ourselves. When the language of discipline is coming from a place of shame, guilt, or pressure, we are telling the “survival” part of our brain that change is a threat. That’s why we can get so stuck when we want to live a happier and healthier life. Because it is coming from a place of pressure, rather than a regulated space.
Learn more about our framework and how to Master The Inner Game.
If you missed yesterday live Substack, we are doing a lot of this and our LMHC and Lead Brain Coach, Jenn Evans, spoke about our dedication habits last night. Be sure to stay tuned every Tuesday at 7pm for live minicourse on beneath the soil and check out last nights talk.
That’s why we make these videos and share them! We are committed to helping you live a life that is rooted in regulation, not in survival mode.
How will you celebrate your wins this week? Let us know in the comments!
Thanks for being a part of the EWCS community and I look forward to seeing you in the next video…or in a coaching session! :)
