Say out loud, “I approve of me!” Chances are it brings a smile to your face and makes you feel good.

Our need for approval (Do they like me? Do I fit in? Do I belong? What do they think of me? Etc.) is a super strong driver in our lives that causes us lots of pain and suffering.

Our need for approval stems from us not fully loving, accepting, and approving of ourselves exactly as we are. This puts us in the position of needing the approval of others to validate that we are actually okay. If they approve then I am okay but if they don’t then there is obviously something wrong with me. If I was enough they would approve of me.

So when we choose to approve of ourselves, we are doing something highly beneficial for ourselves.

Say “I approve of me!” ten times and notice how you feel. Then I invite you to keep on saying that throughout your day and life.

Much Love,
