How to Deepen Your Sense of Trust
When we don't have a sense of trust in the Universe, we can sometimes get really hard on ourselves if things don't go our way. For instance, if we're rejected by a love interest, or we don't get the job we wanted, we might blame ourselves instead of trusting in the bigger picture of life.
When we truly trust what happens in our lives, we stop taking things so personally and instead view our challenges as opportunities for growth. We start to see how the big changes in our lives are actually always happening for our highest and best. We start to see how our rejections and disappointments are actually the Universe keeping us away from things not meant for us. We begin to face difficult events in our lives with more strength.
We start to trust that however we perform, however we look, however we feel in a given moment is part of a greater divine plan that is playing out exactly how it’s meant to for our growth.
We can cultivate our trust in the Universe, our connection with the energetic field we are each a part of. As we do this, we start to recognize that as part of the whole, we ourselves are inherently whole and worthy. We see that, as pieces of this divine puzzle, every aspect of our lives is divinely perfect. Simply being given the gift of this life means that we are an integral part of the story, we are worthy, and we are here for a reason.
As we feel our unique strand in this web of interconnected energy — unfolding in a way that we cannot ever control — we can start to transform feelings of not-enoughness to feelings of gratitude for the gracious flow of life. We can feel the gift and beauty of this unique, miraculous life experience and all that comes with it.
What can we do to develop more trust in our lives?
Practices of connection and inner listening. We each have the ability to feel and hear the wisdom of the Universe. We connect to it through our senses, by letting go into the space that holds us, and opening up to receive. We can develop our connection with this loving wisdom through practices that help us let go into divine energy and attune to the subtle layers of life.

Exploring the concepts of surrender, trust and presence in your daily life. When you find yourself in a moment of being triggered, feeling awkward, or feeling not good enough, explore what it might feel like to become deeply present and radically trusting. Surrender fully to the moment, letting go of your analytical mind and dropping into your heart to see what arises from a state of pure presence. In those moments, the Universe likes to surprise us, speaking through others and showing itself in magical ways.
Noticing the signs. When we start to bring awareness to signs from the Universe, we start to experience synchronicities and events that fill us with hope and excitement. We start to experience the love of the Universe for ourselves. By noticing the signs, we start to sensitize our awareness to the subtle, loving cues of the Universe. We start to see how it is always pointing us in the direction of our highest good. It’s a beautiful exercise to play with your receptivity to signs - even if you just try it temporarily - as you may soon find yourself living with more depth and fulfillment.
Working with tools like astrology, human design, or oracle cards. When we explore systems of divination, we are showing an openness to receive the messages from the Universe that are meant for us. Simply exploring your belief in these systems opens the door for more mystical experiences and a more developed relationship with the Divine. By entering a connected and trusting space, and working with any of these methods you may feel called towards, you can start to cultivate a conversation with the Universe.
Exploring your energetic field. When we pay attention to the fact that everything around us is made up of energy, we can more easily recognize the interconnectedness and relationship between all things. We can start to experience the life force that animates everything around us. As we experience our own energy and our fluid nature, we become more attuned to the energetic flow of the Universe.
It’s said that the Universe truly rewards us when we trust. When we start to live from this place of deeper surrender and belief in how loved we truly are, our lives become so much more meaningful. I encourage you to play with these techniques and explore the feeling of trust within yourself. See how it not only changes your relationship with the world, but also with yourself - as you may find yourself more confident and accepting of your own wholeness.
