This is a meaty topic and something we explore in more depth in the Be Your Own Hero course. In a nutshell, they help us let the good stuff in and keep the bad stuff out - “stuff” being people, experiences, information, emotional states, and more. unpacked and explained B.R.A.V.I.N.G in depthīoundaries: Boundaries are HUGE. These ingredients are summarised with the (apt) acronym B.R.A.V.I.N.G.ī.R.A.V.I.N.G. In Rising Strong, Brené shares a mnemonic that contains these ingredients, explaining that we can use them as a checklist to gauge trust levels in our relationships with others and with ourselves.
It’s a word we all know and use but what does it mean in tangible terms?īrené quotes Charles Feltman, author of The Thin Book of Trust, who describes trust as “choosing to risk making something you value vulnerable to another person’s actions.” Meanwhile, distrust is deciding that “what is important to me is not safe with this person in this situation (or any situation).”Įven though the concept of trust and how to cultivate self-trust can feel a little abstract and nebulous at times, the good news is that there are key elements that influence our levels of trust. One of the topics Brené covers in Rising Strong, and what I want to share with you today, is this topic of trust, namely how to cultivate self-trust and deepen trust in our relationships with others. I won’t go into a synopsis of the book here (I shared more details in my Amazon review) but I highly recommend clearing your diary for this weekend to read all three titles.
Rising Strong is the final book in a trilogy on how to live a whole-hearted life, following on from The Gifts of Imperfection and Daring Greatly.
If you’ve been anywhere near the internet at some point over the last couple of years, you’ve probably seen her now-famous TED talk on vulnerability.
A couple of weeks ago, Brené Brown published her latest book, Rising Strong. In my work with clients, one of the most common topics we discuss is how to cultivate self-trust.
