Lesson 213: VIDEO - Validation
Today we are to watch this short film and note down how we are feeling. It’s a film about validation and how our words can impact others.
I really enjoyed watching the film because it reminded me how our energy can radiate out. When we say something positive to someone, it brightens up their day. Doesn’t it feel good when we can let someone know that they are great? It’s a good deed that we are doing that makes someone else feel good. If we can show that we are good in ourselves, this can spread our flow of energy out and people can feel off your positive vibes.
I really enjoyed that this man just wanted to see people smile and his day was made when other’s smiled for him. I liked the other side of the spectrum though – when he couldn’t get the lady to smile, it sent him into his own slump. To me, this reinforces the fact how our moods can impact others. Because he started feeling down, people didn’t go to him for validating comments anymore due to him being negative. This is a reflection in our own lives. I know I can feel this at work – when morale is low, we are all unmotivated and less engaged. If we maintain good positive notions, then this starts to reflect in others.
I think one of the key take away messages is that you have the power to influences people’s environments through positive reinforcement. If we can create a positive energy around us, then that spreads throughout your space. The same goes for being negative. We have direct influence to the world around us, so why not make it a positive space? Keep paying people compliments and uplift them with your words – it can make all the difference to someone else’s outlook.
