💛 Stop the Cycle of Self-Invalidation 💛
Good morning, Maybankers!
Do you ever catch yourself brushing off your feelings, saying things like, “It’s not a big deal” or “I’m overreacting”? This is self-invalidation—dismissing your emotions instead of honoring them. It’s time to break the cycle.
Here’s how to validate yourself:
1. Acknowledge your feelings: Remind yourself that your emotions are valid, even if they’re uncomfortable.
2. Be compassionate: Treat yourself as you would a dear friend—with kindness and understanding.
3. Challenge the inner critic: Replace harsh self-talk with affirmations like, “It’s okay to feel this way.”
Your feelings matter, and you deserve to give yourself the care and validation you need. 💛
