Live Free: You Don't Need to Prove Anything !

In today's world, likes, shares, and comments determine our value. I remember a time when I was so consumed by seeking validation from others that I lost sight of my own worth. It's a common struggle, but it's essential to pause and ask:

 Who decides that others define our worth?

1. Validation comes from within, and seeking external validation excessively can lead to self-doubt, insecurity, and a constant need for approval. But when you realize that you hold the power to validate yourself, it's a liberating and empowering feeling.

2. Wanting others always to say you're great can make you feel sad and unsure about yourself. It's like needing a lot of hugs from many people and never feeling good enough just by

3. The key to addressing neurotic needs for approval and affection lies in developing self-awareness, self-acceptance, and self-compassion. One practical exercise is to journal about your feelings of self-doubt and insecurity when you seek external validation. By recognizing and understanding the underlying reasons for excessively seeking external validation, individuals can build a healthier sense of self-worth rooted in internal validation and self-acceptance.

4. External validation is a slippery slope. It can lead to self-doubt, insecurity, and a constant need for approval. Shift your focus from seeking validation from others to building a strong sense of self-acceptance and self-worth from within.

5. Recognize your intrinsic value and learn to validate yourself based on personal beliefs, values, and accomplishments. By developing self-awareness, self-compassion, and self-respect, you could break free from the cycle of seeking external validation and cultivate a more authentic and fulfilling sense of self.

Others' opinions of me do not determine my value. It comes from within, from my own self-belief and self-love. I am enough just as I am; no validation is needed. Neglecting our own needs can result in burnout, resentment, and a significant lack of self-care.

 Remember, your value is inherent and unchangeable, and that's something to feel secure and confident about.

You are Enough just as you are; you don't need External Validation. Constantly seeking external validation can stem from neurotic needs for approval and affection. This pattern can lead to a perpetual need for reassurance, fear of rejection, and a distorted perception of self-worth based on external opinions.
