#SelfValidation

[crimebrul33]

I've come to realize the immense power of seeking validation from within. Living by my own standards fills me with a sense of happiness and contentment that no external validation could ever match. When I allow other people's standards to dictate my choices, I invite in regrets, feelings of inadequacy, and unnecessary anxiety.

But why should I let anyone else's wishes or expectations hold sway over my life? My own standards are more than enough—they bring me joy, excitement, and fulfillment. As long as I'm not harming myself or others, or disrupting the harmony of society, why shouldn't I be perfectly content with living by my own rules?

When I fully embrace this mindset, the need to judge others or feel judged by them simply evaporates. We're all living our own unique lives, with different needs and desires. And that's not just okay, it's beautiful.

This philosophy extends beyond life choices—it also applies to my standards of beauty and appearances. I define what beauty means to me, and I celebrate the diversity of appearances in the world around me. By living authentically and honoring my own standards, I find true peace and acceptance. 🌟

Self-validation Can Sound Like: • "I was right to stand up for myself." • "I did the best I could with what I knew at that time." • "I am proud of myself for challenging myself." "Today has been a difficult day for me." • "I can do hard things." • "It is okay I said no to something I really did not want to do" • "I feel overworked and need to prioritize rest." • "I tried my best and that is enough." • "I am feeling upset right now." • "I feel misunderstood." • "That was a difficult conversation but it was needed." • "Not everyone will like me and that is okay." "Today was tough. What do I need to feel better?"

I needed:

Armor

Validation

Understanding

I thought I was seeking the same space, the right to express myself, that I was so freely giving.

Only to realize that I am that space.

The Key to Releasing Attachment

Recognizing and releasing unhealthy attachments is the biggest step in the journey of self-improvement, self-love, and self-actualization. Attachments are the source of pain in our lives.

At its core, an attachment originates from the belief that something outside of ourself possesses that which we lack internally. Often, this belief traces back to childhood, where abandonment or abuse birthed feelings of inadequacy, shame, and the pursuit of conditional love.

We begin to craft narratives around our attachments, convincing ourselves that certain external people or circumstances hold the key to our happiness and safety. We desperately cling to things, believing that they are the only way to secure our well being.

When we lack validation and safety from ourselves, chasing those things externally is the only way that we know how to obtain them. In this pursuit we unknowingly abandon the self, altering behaviors, suppressing vulnerability, compromising on boundaries - all in an attempt to retain control over the external factors validating our experience. Slowly, we lose ourselves - our values, emotions, and directions.

Acknowledging the narratives that we construct, recognizing the unhealthy patterns that we may be repeating, and owning up to self-abandonment is how we dissolve these things.

The root of our attachment to external factors lies in our inner child's need for validation and safety. To rectify this, we turn inwards, towards self-love. Inwards, we recognize that we are whole. We show ourselves that we will no longer abandon the self, and we build safety and groundedness. We provide the love and safety that we always looked for externally. We realize that everything we've ever needed resides within. When we create feelings of safety and love within ourselves, we know that we do not need anything or anyone. Authenticity becomes how we no longer abandon the self. We know that we do not need to minimize ourselves for anything, because we can provide everything that we have ever needed on the inside.

This allows us to let go of attachment and outcomes. Letting go of outcomes allows us to be fully authentic and to attract the correct experiences into our lives. We attract the right people and experiences from a place of true authenticity. We know that we do not need anything, so these people and experiences only add to our life.

Love for the people in our lives which is rooted in authenticity and detachment from outcomes is unconditional. The key to releasing attachment is in your hands. Create safety and validation for yourself, and choose to not abandon the self. Consciously select your own energy and your own mind for validation, and you will feel more free than ever. :)

In a world that often seeks external validation, I choose a different path. I let go of the need for validation from others and instead trust in my own judgment. I know that I am the author of my own story, capable of making decisions that align with my values and aspirations. Today, I invite you to join me in embracing your inner wisdom and believing in your own power. Trust yourself, for you hold the key to your own happiness and success. 🗝️💫

38 days — Fixing internal calibration

Grandiosity is an assumed feeling of elevated specialness and exaggerated self-importance.

Impostorism is a feeling that our achievements or what people believe we are capable of is just because we are doing a good job of faking it and it is a matter of time before we’re exposed. 

In both these, the biggest commonality I see is the malfunctioning or the complete breakdown of internal calibration. 

It has, on several occasions, been revealed that my feeling of another person’s perception of me is actually my own perception of myself (for negative emotions) or an imposed projection of what I’d like it to be (for positive emotions). The older I get, the scarcer external validation seems to have become, and more pressing (at the neck) than ever before has become the need to build a reliable but also honest self-affirmation system.

Self Criticism vs Self Validation

Livestream replay

There are two forces driving me… Self Criticism, that voice in my head that says it can always be better, pointing out flaws in every piece, constantly flogging me.

And Self Validation - The voice that says, you did a good job, this is even better than the piece before. It's not really "Self" validation, as my true desire is to hear those words from other.

In either case, both forces are always saying "Keep going."

12/6/2022 DAB Chronological Transcription

2nd Corinthians 10 - 13

Welcome to Daily Audio Bible Chronological, I'm Jill. Today is the 6th day of December, welcome. It's so good to be here with you as we journey through the Word of God together in chronological order. And we are winding our way down this long road of this long path we have been on in the journey of the Bible, and what a journey it has been. It's my joy and my honor to be here with you as we are within 30 days of finishing. And finishing is what I hope that we will all do individually, collectively, and in community. Today we're continuing the reading in 2nd Corinthians. And so we're reading today chapters 10 through 13. This week we're reading the New Living Translation, 2nd Corinthians chapter 10.

Commentary

Let's talk about super apostles, shall we? I don't think these are apostles with superhero capes. Despite imagination pulling from The God of Your Story today to orient us in the context of today's reading. Although scholars have debated for centuries about who Paul was talking about when he discussed super apostles in our reading from 2nd Corinthians today, this is the likely scenario. People who had a different set of convictions about Jesus had begun visiting churches that Paul had established with great persecution and difficulty. Their teachings were different from Paul's and were apparently being validated by their association with some of the men who had walked with Jesus during his ministry. Super apostles, a claim Paul couldn't make because he had never met Jesus during his earthly ministry. The Gospel they taught was nuanced in a way that was disturbing to Paul, since Paul considered their selfvalidation boastful and selfserving, he too felt the need to boast in response. But this put Paul in a strange position, because boasting isn't usually considered a good thing, especially boasting about oneself. But he didn't feel like he had a choice. He didn't want the Corinthians to be swept into teachings that he hadn't given them from the beginning. This was a matter of great concern to him yesterday and today. We watched Paul squirm over this because he didn't want to get into a boxing match over who was the most authentic follower of Jesus, a no win contest of validation by comparison. On the other hand, the Corinthians were being influenced negatively, so Paul felt the need to tell the people of his struggles to bring the Gospel to them in the first place. What can we make of all this? Was Paul simply a very insecure man? Maybe, after all, he was a human being with the same struggles we each face. But this had nothing to do with why he felt the need to boast. Paul told the Corinthians exactly why he was going through this uncomfortable exercise. Confessing, I am jealous for you with the jealousy of God himself. I promised you as a pure bride to one husband, Christ. And then it ends by saying that tomorrow we'll hear Paul boast. And we heard that today it's a little uncomfortable, isn't it? It does sort of lead you to questions of is this an insecure man? Maybe overcompensating and then we can just pull out that mirror, look straight in the mirror. Do we maybe do this ourselves? Do we overcompensate in areas maybe if we even lack feeling seen, feeling appreciated, feeling known. I know I very much deal with that especially around the holidays. I tend to think that everyone's happiness and expectations sit on the shoulders of my 4'11'' self. And I can tell you that there are days but that gets really heavy because of expectations that I feel I need to meet and expectations I put on myself and then complain about why nobody appreciates all of this that I'm doing. And you know just there I've engaged in the pity party. Point being I cringe a little bit listening to Paul talk about Boasting and then I just have to wonder who's cringing listening to my insecurities play out like a broken record. And I think the resolve here today is to Boast in our weaknesses. Because in our weakness God is our strength. He carries us, he carries us through. He shines bright. We become acutely aware of our dependency on him and our weakness and we if we're doing it right, cling to him day by day, minute by minute, depending on his strength that is made perfect and weakness.

Prayer

So Father, we thank you for that strength today. That strength that only comes from you, that supernatural strength we're lost without it. We so need it. Minute by minute, day by day. We thank you that it is available to us. You are available to us and I thank you for carrying us on the days that we need you and on the days that we don't think we need you, that we still do. Thank you for being there. Thank you for being safe, for being our refuge, our very present help and time of trouble. We pray this now. In the name of the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit, amen.

Community Prayer Line

Hey DABC, it's refined by the fire in Ohio. It is November 30 and I wanted to call just to check in. Happy Thanksgiving to everybody in the US or anywhere that was celebrating last weekend. I hope you all are well. Just wanted to encourage everybody whether you have been here all year, it's amazing that we have made it eleven months so far and if you are just joining us, that's okay. Just hop in to hear what God has going on today. Don't worry about trying to catch up because we're getting ready to start the cycle all over again. I know personally I had joined the DAB community somewhere mid year like August about six years ago. And at first I thought maybe I would try to catch up, but honestly that was the best advice was just get your word for today and keep moving forward. So I hope you guys are all doing well. Hopefully you can take some time. Like I'm reminded myself during this Advent season, it gets so busy and so crazy so fast just to rest in Him, commune with Him and remember to stay connected to our community. Love you guys all, talk to you soon.

It's December 1. This is saved by his grace in Happy Valley. And I'm calling for Rachel. Rachel, I just heard your call in today and I want to say welcome and your story sounds a lot like mine. I grew up in the church, drifted away and got this sudden feeling at one point that I needed to find a church home again. That was years ago and it's only been maybe five or six years since my son in law talked me into listening to the Daily Audio Bible, which has meant so much to me and has really changed my life. But I wanted to tell you your strong feeling that you wanted to get back into the Word, that was God who has when you look back some day you will realize that even though you didn't think about him or notice him. He was right there with you every step of every day of your life. And he finally said, it's time for you to come closer to me. And that was the feeling that brought you to us. And I thank him for yet again bringing a child close to him like he did to me. And I want to welcome you, and it will be lovely knowing that you're sharing the reading.

Good rainy morning. DABC family, today is Wednesday, November 30, and I just heard our sister Diane Olive Brown calling, and I just wanted to say many blessings over you and your family today. God has really blessed you with a light and beautiful spirit. When you call, I always smile. Hearing your voice, I just feel warmth and welcomed and as if I just walked into a home and there were baked cookies. They like hot chocolate, and I wasn't allergic to hot chocolate. Thank you. Thank you for calling in. May God bless you this season. May God bless you and your husband. May he cause his face to shine upon you and give you peace. And as we're going to the holiday season, to all the listeners out there, I just want to challenge you to stay focused. As Diana Brown talked about, you know, prayer, just continue seeking God. Whatever you're believing god for, he has not forgotten you. He is right there with you in the middle of your storms, if you're going through a storm and in the middle of your celebrations, if you are going through your celebrations.
