At times, it can be a challenge to be true to ourselves. But developing trust in yourself and your own wisdom is key to greater mental strength.

Absorbing advice, teachings and guidance from peers and leaders can, of course, be positive and help us learn. But it’s important to know when this gets too much and stops us from trusting what our own instincts, intuitions and feelings are trying to tell us.

In this episode of Mentally Stronger, I explore why it’s so important to be your own authority.

For many of us, it’s a hard-wired habit to ignore our feelings instead of honouring them, maybe through fear or through a desire to impress or fit in with others.

But, today, I explain how accepting, honouring, and acting on our own feelings and instincts is crucial as we navigate the path to greater wisdom and improved mental strength.
