Meri Brown is learning to rely on her emotions and instincts. The star is getting candid about the importance of building trust with yourself.The reality star took to TikTok on Thursday to share some reflections with her followers, and opened up about the importance of trust — which comes a few months after her own difficult public split from Kody Brown.«I am thinking a little bit about trust.

You've heard that quote, right? Trust is transparency and consistency over time,» she said in the video. «And that's well and good when you are thinking about the trust that you are trying to build with others or that you want others to build with you.»«But what about the trust that you have for yourself?» she asked. «I think all too often, we don't trust ourselves as much as we should.»Meri explained that she feels learning to trust yourself is «more of a heart thing than a head thing.»«I know for myself, I will tend to rationalize the reason I should trust myself in a certain situation, and really my gut knows,» she explained. «It's about having the courage to be true and authentic to myself, to be able to do and say the things that I know that I need to do because ultimately, when you trust yourself and you act on that trust, it's going to give you more power in the long run.»She also reflected on the importance of self-reliance and knowing that you will be able to depend on yourself when others don't come through for you.«When you're concerned about the trust that you have for somebody else, and you're trusting them to not leave you or you're trusting them to follow through on their word, or you're trusting them to do these things, that's all great,» Meri said.
