5 Reasons To Validate Yourself Instead of Relying on External Validation

Self validation is an essential skill. Ultimately, as you move through your life and the world around you, you will hear many different voices – some of them positive and accepting, some of them judging and critical. 

All these voices will have their own thoughts, ideas, and opinions to share. With so much information floating around, it can be difficult to discern how you feel and what you think amid all the chaos. 

We will never be able to please everyone, so seeking praise externally is guaranteed to be a losing battle, and can have negative effects on our self esteem. If we can recognize, celebrate, validate, support our own selves then this will give us a much more secure foundation.  

Let’s take a look at 5 key reasons to learn to validate yourself, and the benefits that this can bring.

When you learn to validate yourself, you’ll have an easier time trusting your own inner voice.

Self-Love Isn’t Selfish.

Self love isn’t selfish. What does that mean? I never really understood the concept of self-love growing up. I guess it was just not something that was trending in the 90’s.

Jokes apart, I grew up in a family that valued giving more than receiving, even if that meant giving away everything you have, even your own sanity and wellbeing.
