How Clarity Quietly Returns

Internal trust doesn’t return through force.

It comes back through small acts of honesty.

Pausing before you respond.
Letting a no stand without explanation.
Sitting with discomfort instead of fixing it.
Changing your mind — and not justifying it.

Not as a rule.
As a practice.

Trust rebuilds when you show yourself
that you’ll listen —
even when it’s inconvenient.
Even when nothing changes externally.

You don’t need to get it right every time.
You just need to stop abandoning yourself in small ways.

Decisions feel quieter.
Boundaries feel cleaner.
You recover faster when you misstep.

And over time, something settles.
