Welcome to this episode of Embrace Your Real.    In today's episode, we'll explore the topic of confidence-boosting compliments and validation. Although compliments are commonly perceived as a means to elevate one's self-assurance, seeking external validation for self-worth can prove to be counterproductive in the long term.   Our pursuit of approval from others can hinder the development of genuine confidence, which is derived from an internal source. While receiving compliments can be pleasant, relying on them solely to feel good about ourselves is ultimately ineffective.   Join us in this episode as we delve deeper into the intricacies of the relationship between compliments and confidence, and why true confidence comes from within.     What I discuss:  

1. Respect yourself.
2. Celebrate your successes.
3. Embrace your imperfections.
4. Practice self-compassion: Be kind and gentle with yourself.
5. Take risks: Push yourself out of your comfort zone and try new things.
