SELF-VALIDATION involves perceiving your own feelings,

thoughts, and actions as making sense, accurate, and


acceptable in a particular situation.

How can I validate myself?

1- Actively listen and pay attention to myself: try


to observe how you feel right now. Observe how
your body feels and try to notice what emotion is
prevalent right now. It doesn't have to be very
intense.

2- Describe my feelings and put a name to my


feelings without passing judgment (
Acknoledgment) “I am feeling sad instead of I am
always sad!

3- This step focuses on allowing myself that it is


okay to experience any emotion. You are allowed
to feel whatever you feel right now or in an
overwhelming situation that makes you feel intense
emotions. ]

Below are some statements that you can use to get in the
headspace of allowing yourself to let the emotion be:
 It is okay to feel the way I do right now.
 I am allowed to experience this emotion.
 Allowing myself to feel this way doesn't mean
that I am behaving accordingly.
 This will pass, but for now this emotion is here.
 This emotion is uncomfortable, but it won't

4- Understanding
The last step is meant to help you create a context
for the emotion you are feeling. Many of us don't
always stop to try and understand why we feel the
way we feel. In this step, take your time to think
about the past events that have led you to
experience this particular emotion. Don't judge
yourself, just think about the objective facts that
formed the context you are in right now
