Habits on Purpose

183. The Power of Validation: The Unsung Hero of Habit Change


Listen Later

Do you feel like acknowledging your struggles will make them worse, or that it means you're weak or indulgent? Many of us have been taught to push through challenges, minimize what we’re feeling, and judge ourselves for reacting in normal, human ways. But this mindset keeps us from fully understanding why we’re struggling in the first place.

 

In this episode, I explore why validation is one of the most powerful tools for lasting change. Validation is simply the act of recognizing what's real, legitimate, and understandable about our experience. It’s about acknowledging what is true in the moment without judgment. When we validate our emotions instead of dismissing them, we create the clarity, confidence, creativity, and inner strength needed to make meaningful shifts.
