addicted to validation / recognition / praise

[Spiral Wizard]

How to let go of this need for validation / recognition / praise / etc. ?

How to be content with yourself knowing what you have done? Why can't I just be proud of myself? Why do I want other people to be proud of me or recognize my performance / achievements? Why do I want others to know? Why is there this need?

[ryuzaki]

hey I am facing the same issues

[wordsforliving]

Hey at least you are recognising it or becoming aware of it. That is HUGE! 

Understand where you are coming from and truly believe Self-Love is the answer. 

 

[universe]

Dont get into resistance with this feeling. What you resist persists.

When you feel that craving for validation or praise from others. Or maybe that negative feeling when you dont get the validation you wanted.

Instead take a deep breath. Breath into the emotion. Approve of it. Do that on a daily basis. At least for 2 minutes. Why is this need there? Its an illusion. Dont bother with the why too much. Do this ritual as a prophylaxis for your emotional health.
