Is it difficult for you to trust others?

I know I do ✋🏾

Trust issues are often connected to negative experiences or trauma in the past. Being let down or betrayed by people who you trusted–whether it was a friend, partner, parent, or other trusted figure or institution–can interfere with your ability to believe in others.

One of the best ways to practice trust is to trust yourself. This doesn’t mean you should never question yourself or your choices. It just means that you should build a stronger self-awareness that can help guide your judgments and interactions with others.

Therapy can also be helpful for overcoming trust issues. The therapeutic alliance that you form with your therapist can be a powerful tool in learning how to trust other people. By working with an experienced mental health professional, you can learn more about why you struggle with trust and learn new coping skills that will help you start to rebuild trust in your relationships.

Forgive yourself first. Release the need to replay a negative situation over and over again in your mind. Do not become a hostage to your past by always reviewing and reliving your mistakes. Do not remind yourself of what should have, could have or would have been. Release it and let it go. Move on. You can’t change the past, but you can determine that your past will not define your present, or dictate your future. Forgive your former self…for the way you may have sabotaged your present options. Recognize that the ability to create a new life lies in the ability to forgive yourself first and make peace with your past. You have greatness within you!

“In order to empathize with someone’s experience, you must be willing to believe them as they see it, and not how you imagine their experience to be.” ~ Brené Brown

By definition, empathy is the ability to appreciate and understand the feelings and experiences of another. That does not mean that you agree or even like the other person, but rather that you can put yourself in their shoes, (sit in it with them) even when your viewpoints clash.

But it is more powerful than you think; empathy can optimize your personal and professional potential.

Admittedly, bringing empathy into your everyday life may seem slightly overwhelming. It’s important not to put too much pressure on yourself and practice self-empathy above all. Don’t expect to wake up tomorrow and suddenly rush empathy into everything you do. That would be stressful and counterproductive. Instead, try to take small, meaningful steps and be mindful of the way you address yourself, others and your tasks. That’s how you allow empathy to seep into your life and make a difference. THM

In a world with Google translate or human interpreters, perfect communication is rarely possible.

This quote by Ludwig Wittgenstein’s “Tractatus Logico Philosophicus,” published in 1921, I believe refers to the belief that if one cannot describe something in words, then it does not exist.

The common notion is that language is a means of communication; it enables us to retrieve and convey information to the world. The special ability of language seems to be what sets humans apart from other animals.

While other animals are able to communicate and elucidate certain responses and behaviors, no such example has been able to match that of a human’s ability. Animal communication comes in many forms such as the auditory cues of songbirds, that sing to attract potential mates.

How do you elucidate when you communicate to the world ?

For me, when I’m listening to someone I begin to illustrate their words by adding imagery, this helps to give me a clear visual of what’s being communicated and keeps me in-tuned with the speaker.

“Without philosophy thoughts are, as it were, cloudy and indistinct: its task is to make them clear and to give them sharp boundaries.” — Ludwig Wittgenstein

We attain freedom as we let go of whatever does not reflect our magnificence. A bird cannot fly high or far with a stone tied to its back. But release the impediment, and we are free to soar to unprecedented heights. ~ Alan Cohen

It takes courage and the release of shame or guilt to become who you were born to be. THM
