Believe in Yourself: The Leap of Faith That Changed My Week

Believe in Yourself

The idea for today’s blog came as I was driving through beautiful rolling hills and forests. My thoughts drifted to how I’ve felt this week—what has been driving my actions, how I keep going, and why I continue to try new things and challenge myself.

It all comes down to one thing: I believe in myself.

Actually, it’s more specific than that—I believe in my ability to figure things out.

This week I flipped my schedule upside down. For the first time ever, I prioritized creativity during the day and moved my work into the evenings. I had never even considered this before. It goes against everything we were taught growing up: work first, play later.

But what if I play first?

Would the work still get done?

It turns out, not only did I finish everything, but I discovered something unexpected. With Abby sleeping peacefully in the evenings, I had uninterrupted time to work. The focus was easier, the flow stronger.

This shift in my schedule felt like a leap of faith—but I took it because I believed in myself. I trusted I could make it work. I trusted I could deal with challenges as they arose. I trusted I could figure it out.

And here’s the beautiful thing: believing in yourself is really an act of self-love. It’s saying, “I’ve got me. I trust me.”

Do you love yourself enough to believe in you? You might be surprised at how amazing you truly are when you do.
