"Validating someone's feelings doesn't mean you agree with them. It doesn't mean you concede that they are correct. It doesn't mean that those feelings are the healthiest; it doesn't mean they are informed by logic. Validating feelings does not mean you make them more true; it means you remind someone that it is human to feel things they don't always understand." - Brianna Wiest The Mountain Is You
This week we discuss validation and how we can get to a place to where we can healthily and confidently validate ourselves. It's easy to look to others to have them help us to feel less insecure or to make us feel "right." But, it's not about feeling or being right. Healthy validation comes from confronting yourself with things you don't understand and giving yourself permission to not understand those things. It is allowing yourself to reason that your feelings or lack of understanding are valid. Finding perspective and looking at a situation from a more objective place will help you to not need validation from others. It will begin to come from within.
