My own approval and appreciation of me is all I need and all that really matters. Others opinion of me is none of my business. I accept myself and value who I am. I will give myself all the approval and acceptance that I need and lose the fear of what others think.
Stefanie – I love your comment. You are the only one you can control. Thanks for the comment!
I would add focusing on a singular sensory sensation. I find this personally effective for grounding and centering. Focusing on a smell, music, gazing at something I find beautiful or provocative, taking a bath and focusing on the feel of the heat on my skin. It pulls me back into my body. I love your suggestions, especially breathing and journaling. Thank you for sharing 🙏
