Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny Bites - Approving of Disapproval

Can you say this out loud? “Your approval or disapproval doesn’t matter to me.”

If that just shocked you or scared you, it’s ok – most people can’t comfortably say that without lots and lots of practice and self-reflection. What if I told you that being able to say and mean that is one of the most powerful gifts you can give to yourself … would you be willing to hear me out?

Children are raised to sculpt their behavior based on the approval or disapproval of the adults around them. Were you a child once? Then you were indoctrinated in the notion that in order to succeed, you needed to care what others thought of your words and actions. 

Starting today, when you’re by yourself, start saying “your approval or disapproval doesn’t matter to me” in front of a mirror. Say it several times a day until it feels true. Then, when you need it for real, you’ll be ready to stand up for who you really are.
