Our 2025 Daily edition of the Heart Centered planner revived a simple exercise called the What I Trust list.

So for this episode of With Love, Danielle we are reaching back into the archives and choosing this episode as a BEST OF.

Instead of mustering bravado about things that we hope are true, root into what we viscerally know we can rely on. This is an effective way to dissolve your anxiety and balance your nervous system.

So, what do you trust?

1. Focus on the present. The point of this exercise is to access the trust that you already have. It's unwavering and true for you. This is not about building new trust or visualizing outcomes. We're concentrating on what is currently working.

2. Write it out. It's helpful that your "What I Trust" List be written out, not typed up. The movement, hand to vision, helps your psyche to feel the comfort. Imagine your mind is like a lung, inhaling and exhaling as you list out what you're trusting. And/or…

3. Speak it out. If you're an auditory-learner, speak it out. Leave yourself a voicemail, or record a voice memo on your mobile, or talk to yourself. Kindly. Do not underestimate how impactful this can be.

4. Stream your consciousness. Just let it pour out—but, again, don't include things on your list that you don't fully have trust in. It's okay if your list is short—brevity is better than bravado.

5. Be really obvious if you need to be. Nothing is too great or too small to put your trust in. Sometimes the most basic things will give you a boost, especially if you're finding it difficult to think of things that you fully trust.

Intentionally access what you know to be positive and true. That sureness builds a bridge to more Joy and power.
