So many of us struggle with self-doubt from time to time. Because of this self-doubt, it becomes hard sometimes to validate ourselves. I personally believe that we might know how to validate others well, by expressing understanding and acceptance of other people’s experiences. But when it comes to our own self-validation, it’s not always as easy to be on our own side as we tend to judge ourselves a little harder.
According to Psychology Today, self-validation is the act of accepting our own internal experience, including our thoughts and feelings. Self-validation could include us:
- Encouraging ourselves
- Acknowledging our strengths and efforts
- Noticing and accepting our feelings
- Prioritizing our needs
- Treating ourselves with kindness
- Saying nice things to ourselves
- Accepting our limitations or mistakes
Thus, Validating ourselves is very crucial because it is a way for us to accept and better understand ourselves. By receiving our feelings and thoughts, no matter good or bad, we are giving ourselves grace points and allowing ourselves to be our truest selves. Self-validation can then lead us to become stronger selves and help us manage the range of emotions we feel in a better way.
