Over the course of a lifetime, a person has to rely on themselves for a lot. Whether we're relying on ourselves to eat, sleep, work, make friends, have fun, take space from others, find connection with others, feel a sense of meaning and purpose, provide ourselves with inner peace and self-love, or many, many other social, biological, and emotional requirements that all human beings have in various amounts and formats in order to survive and thrive as humans — we all do a lot to take care of ourselves. For some, feeling a sense of personal reliability may be a given, which can create a burdensome belief that we are the only person we can rely on, that we are not just self-reliant, but apart, alone, and abandoned. For others who may rarely feel capable of self-care, self-reliability may seem more elusive or impossible. In the end, believing in our own reliability may be a practice and an art, while also a key ingredient to self-trust. What helps you know that you can reasonably rely on yourself?
