One way we lose trust in ourselves is by seeking the approval of others - to the point of reliance. Our self-worth starts to depend on outside validation. This becomes addictive and we quickly start to seek it more and more. This can be extremely overwhelming and exhausting. Most importantly, if not addressed, it manifests as symptoms of anxiety and/or depression.

The underlying cause for this usually stems from a lack of confidence and self-esteem. When we cannot trust ourselves, we become fearful of the unknown, of failing, and of being rejected. In order to feel confident without requiring the approval of anyone else, we must learn to love ourselves despite our flaws. We must recognize our self-worth. We must believe that we belong and that we matter. ⠀

Take care of your mind and body. Love, Nawal ♥️

Like many others, I too used to be a parent who said no to screen time for my son Ryan (name changed) when he was a toddler, and I was so proud of it!
