Self-validation Can Sound Like:

• “I was right to stand up for myself.” • “I did the best I could with what I knew at that time.”

• “I am proud of myself for challenging myself.”

“Today has been a difficult day for me.” • “I can do hard things.”

• “It is okay I said no to something I really did not want to do” • “I feel overworked and need to prioritize rest.”

• “I tried my best and that is enough.”

• “I am feeling upset right now.”

• “I feel misunderstood.”

• “That was a difficult conversation but it was needed.”

• “Not everyone will like me and that is okay.”

“Today was tough. What do I need to feel better?”
