Validation
Manage episode 371013332 series 3399131
Validation is a practice of being aware of and deciding how to think and feel about something in your life. Validation is your sense of focus and awareness about where you ARE in relation to where you WANT to be with your life.
Calorie counting, counting points, macros, or other people’s opinions are all external sources of weight and food lifestyle validation. You might be drawn to counting programs that tell you clearly how you are ‘doing’ when you measure yourself against their standards to know how to feel about how you are doing or feel good about your compliance, but it can never compare with developing your own process of self-validation with your weight and your chosen lifestyle with how you eat. Here are some good questions to practice self validation:
- What emotion am I feeling?
- In what parts of my body do I feel it?
- What was I thinking that created this feeling?
- Is the thought absolutely true/honest or is there another side of the story that I am not considering?
- Is what I’m feeling uncomfortable, neutral, or positive?
- Is thinking, feeling, and acting this way part of who I want to be? Why or why not?
- What is this feeling trying to tell me?
