Self validation is accepting you own internal experience, your thoughts, and your feelings.

Self validation doesn't mean you believe your thoughts or actions are justified; there will be times when you will be shocked by your own thoughts and actions because they reflect your truest self, or, times when you are disheartened by experiences because they don't seem fair. 

When you fight your thoughts, your feelings and judge yourself for having them or for making mistakes, you increase your emotional upset and look past the truth which is that you are human; that you feel, that you can change and that who you were yesterday doesn't have to be who you are today. The sooner you learn, understand and accept that you are not defined by your experiences, by people's actions and perceptions, the sooner you realise that, "you are you and that is your power' and that perfection isn't a destination but a journey you embark on, a hill you climb and wars you overcome. 

Moral of the story? 

Be gentle with yourself and find ways to, ”make peace with yourself” because at the end of the day, we are all winging it when it comes to this thing called life.
