I release the need to seek external validation and find contentment in my own self-approval
The affirmation "I release the need to seek external validation and find contentment in my own self-approval" can help you break free from the cycle of seeking validation from others. It's easy to fall into the trap of seeking approval from others, whether it's from friends, family, or even strangers on social media.
