What if you granted validation to yourself?
Not thought about it, wished for it, longer for it, waited for it, but GRANTED it.
How do you grant yourself validation?
Try this: write out the validation you want from someone. Imagine them saying exactly what you want to hear: singing your praises, telling you good job, nodding with approval at your actions.
Now this is the important part — read it out loud. If possible, to a trusted friend. Nod with approval. Sing your own praises. And end with something like:
I hereby grant myself the validation I seek.
To commemorate, put on a validation song and dance to it, or write out a certificate, or make a tiny sigil to wear around your neck, or find a ring to wear, so any time you’re feeling small or insignificant or like an imposter, you can make a fist and say to yourself:
YES you are powerful, you are learning, you are growing
I see you
I know you
I validate you
I strengthen you
I encourage you
I believe in you
I think something happens when we say this out loud. When we adopt it as a daily practice, something you can do no matter how you feel, something you can feel your way into.
It’s not a given. It’s not either you have it or you don’t. It’s not something someone else can give you anyway.
It’s something you can ONLY give to yourself.
It’s something you can practice and learn. It’s a choice you can make and a stance you can take, a question you can ask.
What if I had the power to grant myself validation? .
