Building Self-Trust: A Log of Accurate Intuitions and Good Decisions
Systematically collects evidence of a client's own good judgment to build confidence over time.
When your client chronically second-guesses their own judgment, they often operate from a deficit mindset, fixating on past mistakes. They may dismiss their instincts as unreliable or seek constant external validation, which prevents them from developing confidence in their own decision-making. This pattern can keep them stuck in analysis paralysis or dependent on others’ opinions.
This directive offers a structured way to collect proof of the client’s good judgment in real time. Over time, this creates a concrete, personal record that counteracts the narrative of self-doubt. The client begins to build an internal case file demonstrating that their own instincts are more reliable than they believed.
Building Self-Trust: A Log of Accurate Intuitions and Good Decisions
Over the next week, use this log to record instances of your own sound judgment. Note any accurate intuitions, a hunch or feeling about something that turned out to be correct. Also note any good decisions, a choice you made, large or small, that produced a positive outcome or prevented a negative one. Fill in the log as these events occur or at the end of each day. Do not analyze the entries, simply record them.
