How to STOP Approval Seeking | A Monk's Perspective
A common issue that many people struggle with is regarding the need to seek approval from external sources. We do this through praise and validation. In this video, I wanted to share my perspective and give you some practical tips of how you can cultivate an internal system by validating yourself. I find that this takes practice, but it's well worth it in the long haul. I hope this is helpful. Enjoy! #monks #buddhism #mentalhealth
