What Writing Is Teaching Me About Internal Validation?

"Is it right?" to "It is right." Same words with different meanings. The one shows self-doubt whereas the other shows self-belief. I have experienced both, but "It is right" is my favourite one. It has given me confidence to write and express freely with honesty. The roots of this are my self-approval of my thoughts. I validate everything I write before publishing.

While wrapping up yesterday's blogs, I remembered my first day of writing a blog. That day I was asking myself questions: what to write and how to write. Thoughts were scattered, and I was hesitating to share them freely. But after all this, I tried my best to write honestly. I shared my feelings about how, without even experience, I was trying. Isn't it authenticity?

It was the first time when I shared true emotions as they were and didn't exaggerate any thought. That day when I published the blog, it was self-approval. That day I understood self-approval builds self-confidence to perform better. Yes, I know I was not the best on the first day. But could you think from my perspective? For me, who didn't even know what words to choose, just wrote and published the blog. It was surely the best for me.

In between, self-doubt was there about my efforts; was I wasting them and so on. But the small improvements I saw while rereading blogs shut the door on self-doubt. That day I was convinced about my efforts. Everything matters, but my efforts matter more than anything else. I started sharing experiences with more joy.

But now I think all this is because of the belief I gained from self-validation. It taught me life-changing lessons. Approving my thoughts has shown me growth every single time self-doubt knocked.

This incident may look small, but for me it's the first page of a life storybook; without it, other pages are useless to read. Later on, as days passed, I learned many new things while writing blogs. Almost every day something out of the box.

I write, I publish, I reread, find mistakes, improve next time, and try to repeat it daily. I celebrate my improvement to put in more effort while doing so. Showing up daily is my self-approval.
