Stretch A Shoe

You don't have to wait for anybody else's recognition to approve of you. Do the best you can with what you already have and stop trying to impress others in order to win their approval. Even though you may not do everything in a state of perfection you can still pat yourself on the back.

Pleaser

Empower yourself with these 4 ways of self-approval and overcome the urge of being a people pleaser.

1) Find the positive in your life

It's a matter of perspective. You can choose to focus on everything that's wrong in your life or you can shift your perspective and look for the positive. Whatever you focus on will expand and draw your attention to more of it. You don't have to wait for others to see the good that's in your life in order for you to feel good and approve of you.

2) Begin to praise yourself

We all feel good when we are praised. But the problem with that is if you are waiting for someone to praise you, you're actually giving away your power to them. Be happy with praise from others but don't depend on it in order for you to approve of yourself. In this way your emotional heart string is not being toyed with and controlled by others.

3) Encourage yourself

Why wait for someone else to do it when you can be your own cheering squad? You can be empowered from within when you begin to encourage yourself. It does take some mental shifting from your old way of thinking but with conscious practice you can make this a daily habit to uplift yourself from any discouraging, depressing or self-pity state of mind. Here's one you can use, "You're doing pretty good. Keep pressing forward, you can do this."

4) Create your own affirmations

Affirmations are powerful statements and daily repetition of your affirmations is the thought seeds you're sowing in the soil of your subconscious mind which when nurtured each day will begin to recreate your internal belief programming and ultimately your mindset. Here's a self-approval affirmation you can use right now - "I am confident in who I am. I believe in myself. I validate my own self-worth. I approve of me."

Changing your life may seem like an overwhelming frustrating process. But it doesn't have to be if you're given simple doable step-by-step strategies that will get you from where you are to where you want to be and experience a transformed life.
