How to Stop Seeking External Validation and Increase Your Self-Worth

When you’re high-achieving, it can be easy to attach your self-worth to your accomplishments, and this includes the external validation you receive as a result of these accomplishments. This can look like only feeling good about yourself when you receive compliments, positive feedback, or any type of validation. The problem with this is that it leaves you in a roller coaster of ups and downs: feeling good when things are going well, and feeling worthless when they aren’t. In this episode, you’ll learn how to STOP relying on external validation so you can increase your worth (and confidence) from within.

 

In this episode, you will learn:

• How relying on external validation negatively impacts your self-worth
• 8 tips to help you stop seeking external validation
• Practical action steps that will result in increased self-worth
