Do you feel anxiety, depression, or a fear of rejection, either occasionally or daily? A lot of people do, and those feelings are helpful to let you know that you’re focusing on something that’s not helping you.

• Maybe you’re comparing your makeup to that TikTok influencer.
• Maybe you’re worried about a report that’s due that you haven’t started yet.
• Maybe you have a crush on someone and are scared to let them know.

At the base of all these seemingly different worries is one commonality – the need for validation. Through social conditioning and a desire to feel seen and heard, at some point in our lives most of us seek validation.

Listen to me – validation is only for parking.

When you need someone else to value you in order for you to value yourself, you give all of your power to that other person, and that’s a recipe for anxiety, depression, and rejection. If you don’t want to feel those feelings, validate yourself.

Yours is the only opinion of yourself that matters.
