trust yourself

Have inner confidence

Trust yourself is an encouragement to rely on your own judgment, instincts, or abilities rather than seeking external validation or deferring to others.

The phrase implies confidence in one's capacity to make good decisions: You know more than you think—trust yourself.

It often appears as advice when someone faces uncertainty or self-doubt.
