A friend going back to school for counseling told me something this morning that's been rattling around my head today. Don't trust yourself.

Sounds like the opposite of everything I usually talk about. But he's onto something. We all carry a blind spot, a bias that runs negative, and if we're not careful, fierce encouragement turns into fiercely trusting the worst voice in the room. Or even that subtle one that runs the script.

I get into the tractor beam that pulls people back into old self-talk after a great week. The IT leader who told me she's done climbing the corp ladder. And a barbell metaphor I use at the gym that applies to a lot more than lifting.

Maybe the move isn't trusting yourself less? Maybe it's not trusting the first habitual response, the old reflex that shows up before you've had a second to think, or even trust that system you've created.

This one's for anyone who's ever had a good month get undone by a bad Tuesday.
