I am really just beginning to play with conscious self-trust, but here's my initial thoughts: trust with myself has to do with what I tell myself and whether I actually do what I say (to myself, and sometimes to others) I will. Losing self-trust is making empty promises to yourself, not following through, and not "renegotiating" the commitment, so to speak. It may mean needing to scale back on what I want to do, the projects I want to take on (limiting my own WIP, for those that know Lean). Covey defines five waves of trust, the first one being self trust. He talks about the confidence we have in ourselves, our ability to keep our commitments and to 'walk our talk.' The key principle underlying self trust, he says, is credibility. It seems to me, when we are trustworthy with ourselves (e.g., don't tell people things we don't really believe just to look good, or agree to do things we are really hesitant about or resistant to, etc.) than we shine that out to others quite naturally.
