Show Notes

Can you envision a scenario where you enter your workplace each day and are met with a chorus of praises – "fantastic job," "way to go," "exceptional work," "we're lucky to have you"? 

It might seem wonderful at first, but the truth is, this constant external validation can become like an addiction, needing more and more to sustain your self-esteem. The problem is, that you're no longer in control of when you'll receive your next validation fix. The way out of this cycle is to free yourself from relying on others' approval and start appreciating yourself. Shifting from self-doubt to self-appreciation isn't necessarily easy, but it's simpler than you might think. 

This episode dives into the significance of self-appreciation, and its impact on your performance, and guides you on how to cultivate it within yourself. Break free from the cycle of seeking external validation and discover the liberating power of self-appreciation.
