This evening I noticed something about myself that I am not very fond of. I have noticed it before but I didn't realize how prevalent and pervasive it really was until this evening. What I am referring to is my tendency to seek out attention from others, especially men. I notice that any time I say or do something, I am looking around to see if any one noticed and I am pleased as punch when someone asks me questions, laughs, or seems interested. I have been feeling restless lately, in particular missing attention from men so I think that the 2 issues combined indicate that I need to once again direct my focus to where it needs to be which is on myself. As soon as I find some spare time, I want to research some methods to assist me with providing that validation to myself. Once I choose some methods, I plan to implement them in a way that fits into my life. Quite honestly, I am horrified with how obvious my need for validation must be to others, especially those working in my field. Also, I must keep in mind that the only validation I need is from myself. It's the only validation that truly matters.
