Have you ever found yourself overthinking a decision, questioning whether you're good enough, or waiting until you feel more confident before taking the next step? In Episode 38 of Mind Your Being, I’m joined by Aoife Leggett, a coach with a background in equestrian sport, performance, breathwork and psychology, for a conversation about self-trust, mindset and what it means to take ownership of the direction of your life. Aoife and I talk about the inner critic and the limiting stories we can carry about ourselves — “I’m not good enough”, “that’s not for me” or “I’m not that kind of person” — and how becoming aware of those stories can be the first step towards changing them. We explore why confidence doesn’t necessarily come before action, how taking small steps can help build confidence and self-trust, and why we don’t need to have the whole path figured out before we begin. Aoife also shares practical strategies for managing overthinking and mental chatter, including journaling, visualisation, meditation and breathwork. She guides us through three simple breathing techniques that can be used to help create a sense of calm and reconnect with the body. We also talk about self-respect, boundaries, becoming comfortable with being a beginner, listening to your intuition, and creating everyday habits and relationships that support your wellbeing. And perhaps the biggest message from our conversation? You don't have to live according to someone else's expectations. Sometimes, you just need to grab the reins and take the next step towards creating a life that works for you. A warm, practical conversation about self-doubt, confidence, self-trust, taking action and finding your own direction in life.
