MAIN POINTS:
1. When you seek validation from others, you are asking them (consciously or subconsciously) to validate or approve things like your choices, values, beliefs, feelings, thoughts and your actions.
2. Seeking validation is based in the need to be liked and accepted or even give you a sense of belonging.
3. Seeking validation has a direct correlation to our self-worth. The more validation we seek, the more we prioritize others and the lower our self-worth.
4. When you learn to fill your own cup, you start diminishing the importance of others’ opinion of you. Stop undermining your mental health and well-being by allowing others to put their trash in your cup.
5. Social media is a cesspool of people seeking validation. Whether it is the influencer or internet “model” selling their soul for the perfect shot or the voyeurs watching them, seeking validation affects people’s mental health.
§ TRY THIS: Reflect on what validation you seek from others and find ways to self-validate for these things.
POST IT NOTE: I will find validation in myself
