How trusting are you? Test yourself and partner

I'm yet to see a child who isn't born trusting. I mean as a child you trust everything you are told to do or not to do. You trust what you are being taught is good for you. And funny no one needs to teach you how to trust, it just happens.
And then life happens and things fall apart.
Let's start by defining this trust

What is trust?

According to the English dictionary, it is a firm belief in the reliability, truth or ability of someone or something

And a belief is acceptance that something exist or is true especially without tangible proof"

This means trust is not something you touch and can prove it's existence but it is something that you experience.

If trust is such an easy thing thing, then

Where did it all go wrong?

We were led to believe that trust is something that one must acquire. They need to have done something to be trust worthy or for us to trust them.

It is because of this notion that we find ourselves so frustrated in relationships because we want proof that this person can be trusted and/or is trustworthy.

Yet by nature we just trust. I mean everyone when they call it a night and go to sleep, they trust that they'll be here tomorrow. We make plans for the next day or even month or year. Yet we don't know for sure that we'll be here then to experience all of that.

What do trust issues come to tell you about trust in your life?

They are there to remind you or show you how much conditioned you've become. How you've allowed conditions to determine how to experience this life.

How disconnected you have become in relation to the true person that you are. 

You came here knowing, trusting and now in order for you to experience these through and with others , you first need proof?

Who are we called to start trusting?

We are called to remember to trust ourselves, our inner person and guidance. To trust that everything that you are experiencing in this lifetime as is, is for your good and well-being. 

How many times have your inner person communicated with you and yet you ignore them completely because you don't believe that inner voice is you, that inner voice is God in you giving you guidance?

How many times have you let opportunities pass you by just because you don't trust they come from God, you don't trust you are good enough for them, you don't trust they are meat to be. 

What will it take for you to reconnect with yourself and start trusting the person within you?

Fortunately, there's something you can do about this. You can first test and know your trust level then take necessary action to improve it

How to test your trust level?

Find a partner to do this exercise with: 

Ask the partner to stand behind you - arm distance away, feel that they are close enough by touching them, then turn your back away from them

Then throw yourself back to him/her (facing up)

This will help you see how much trust you have. 

If you have smaller kids (7 years and below), ask them to do this with you. Let you as an adult be the one to stand behind them. Tell them to do as mentioned above, see how easy it is for the kids to trust that you'll catch them 😊

You can do this exercise with anyone you want to test your trust levels with, friends, family, lover, siblings etc.

If you can't get yourself to do it, then it means you do not trust and fortunately there's something you ca do to start improving that

What is it that you need to do to regain trust?

• Believe everything is working for your good
• Start saying "yes" to your thoughts and desires. Actually there's a little exercise you can do to improve this, from today for the next 7 days, say "yes" to every question or request you get asked. It doesn't matter by who. Don't try to make sense of what the request is all about and what it means, just say "yes" and see how your life improves daily. Even that little voice that will whisper to you that "turn left here" , just say "yes" by turning left there and see what is the worst that could happen to you.

This exercise will help you greatly to start trusting more on your inner voice. It will help you build the "yes" muscle for your soul and there's no way that you won't experience magic in your life. It will help improve your relationship greatly.

JUST SAY " YES" and trust that life will take you where you are meant to go. Just like you trusted an adult who thrown you up in the air when you were a baby and you trusted that they'll will catch and not let you fall.

There's too many ways or things you can do to build your trust, but you've got to start somewhere and awareness about where you are is key

Proverbs 3: 5 - Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding - THIS IS WHAT YOU ARE CALLED TO BE 🙏
