Internal validation

When we seek external validation, it’s harder to build mental resilience and authenticity because we rely on the opinion of others, often placing them above our own. Often, seeking external validation is subconscious. It happens when we’re unsure or insecure, or people-pleasing. When we instead go out wearing what we want, do something when we’re not fully ready, act out of authenticity and congratulate ourselves, for example, we place the power back in our hands and dig into new confidence…

External Validation vs Self Validation.

You don’t need their validation. You need your own validation. Don’t give up your power.

The intention is that your loving inner parent uses these statements as a gift to your wounded inner child. Let your inner child know you hear and see them and then validate their experiences. It is a powerful process.

Validation is a fundamental relationship skill. As humans, we want to feel seen, understood, and appreciated. This comes - in large part - from validation which involves recognising and accepting someone else’s feelings. To practice validation start by: 👍Being fully present with the person 👍Accurately reflect on what you’ve seen or heard to show the other person that you’ve listened and understood. 👍Ask clarifying questions 👍Normalise their emotional reaction and meet it with compassion.

We're wired to seek connection & belonging with others, but when we constantly prioritize other's opinions, we might find ourselves wanting to stop seeking external validation.

Stop seeking external validation, for it will imprison you, in your own body.

I don’t need validation from others to see my own worth.
