Summary

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?

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.
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…
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.
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.
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.

0:00.0	I loves. I am pulling out some not so oldies, but definitely goodies.
0:08.0	The What I Trust List was an exercise that came to me on an airplane one day. I was on my way to something that was given me the nerves, the jitters, and I just pulled out a pen and regulated my nervous system in communion with the cosmos.
0:30.6	It's not as complicated as I just made it sound.
0:34.6	The What I Trust List is a tiny little feature that appears in the daily
0:39.1	edition of the Heart Center planner. I think this really speaks to the current state of the world
0:44.3	because no matter how wacky Wednesday it is, we've got to anchor into that which feels like
0:52.3	universal and reliable.
0:55.5	And this is about a little tool to dissolve some anxiety
1:00.9	because trust is the antidote to anxiety.
1:04.4	So why not make a list about it?
1:06.2	Here we go.
1:09.3	Hey, let's talk about trust.
1:12.2	Before any supercharged opportunity where I want to look great and feel great and really show up and be myself and be generous, not just be generous, but actually be lucid and useful and be generous with that usefulness.
1:30.5	Instead of pumping myself up and telling myself that I'm great and I'm awesome, and there are
1:38.4	times to do that, what I do is I turn towards what I know to be true. In other words, what I trust. And I create a quote
1:48.3	unquote, what I trust list. The first time I did this, I was going a big speaking gig. It was
1:55.8	really big for me at the time. I was on an airplane. and I just needed to feel certain about something. I wanted to
2:06.0	step on that stage feeling grounded. So what happens is, you know, for a lot of us, we're so
2:13.7	busy trying to get our endorphins fired up and get all fucking pumped that we forget
2:20.2	that feeling assured is actually a kind of calmness, right?
2:28.8	It's so calm.
2:30.4	It's all pervasive.
