Validation

Published: July 16, 2020, 10:45 a.m.

Hey there! In this week\u2019s episode I begin, as usual, by me tea talk, life update, and favourites. Today, I talk about validation, I start with an introduction, where I give my definition and some general observations. Then, I circle around the fact that we feel it from others: why, how, etc. Afterward, I start talking about actually changing that, so, I give some motivational reasons and small effective ways to do so. I wrap up with some of the main points I mentioned.\n\nTo get directly to the content, skip to 16:25\n\nFOLLOW THE PODCAST\u2019S INSTAGRAM: https://instagram.com/theasteapodcast?igshid=r04b2760fkdl\nCONTACT ME THROUGH: theasteapodcast@gmail.com (for business inquiries, sponsorships or to tell me what you think about this podcast!)\n\nCheck out the things I mentioned in this episode (in order of appearance):\n\nStuff You Should Know Podcast (on Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/show/0ofXAdFIQQRsCYj9754UFx?si=sgbwLtCDT6mQYaEkHPTFvQ\n\nSYSK Episode on Juggling (on Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/episode/6POe3eOZXp05rSg54sW5My?si=YUm_Q1JYTkGKgBId7ElsHw\n\nSYSK Episode on the Manhattan Grid: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0TzfKwe44tJnbWlfn5daTI?si=apfJA3zbSsenIeKEPVcgBA\n\nSYSK Episode on Matcha: https://open.spotify.com/episode/3XglervzimsgEq23k4chVC?si=Klnii85tRq-HGBunYjezUg\n\nSYSK Episode on Soil: https://open.spotify.com/episode/75JrTtQqt5W8bOCsCSOzYI?si=91XuSYjIRTihWwancv2L1g\n\nThe School of Life YouTube video on Modernity: https://youtu.be/HIdflecvQG8\n\nPhilips LED Lights on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Philips-Ambiance-LightStrip-Compatible-Assistant/dp/B0167H33DU\n\nMy episode on Self Worth (on Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/episode/2WsqikIHbrj7qyZnAFrkli?si=SH75xzdHT5G4FA2HgTqqaA\n\nMy episode featuring my mum on not expecting anyone from anyone: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4aTOfTDZvdevJ9lijO7rKB?si=QYBWEk-kRIOBmSfC2oYRyQ\n\nListen to The Perfectionism Project Podcast (on Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/show/5QAsL8roKR67O1GO2LiXvS?si=tKYk7wiKSIe-uija1Fx99A\n\nThe Perfectionist Project Podcast episode on making yourself believe in yourself: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0YMC3TZ9igidm8qu12nKID?si=bwqUNvu1RrysXoMqLXwlGQ\n\nHere are some quotes I liked from this week\u2019s episode:\n\n20:23 \u201cWe will not have control on everything in our lives, and that\u2019s definitely something I repeat frequently on here, but validation is something that we can have control over, and, funnily enough, we actually choose to not take control over it\u201d\n21:47 \u201cMaybe deep down we don\u2019t feel we\u2019re enough. Maybe deep down we are so hyperaware of all of our flaws, all of our weaknesses, so, when it comes to loving ourselves and thinking that we are enough, that obviously presents as a challenge, because we don\u2019t believe in ourselves deep down, so we can tend to strive toward external factors\u201d\n\nThanks for tuning in, have a beautiful week!
