Understand attention seeking: its causes, impacts, and solutions.

For many, attention seeking begins with a constant need for approval and validation from others. Individuals often seek reassurance from peers, family, or authority figures, craving recognition and approval that they feel is missing from within.

Such behavior can manifest in various ways. Some people may overtly seek attention through their looks, status, or achievements, while others might engage in more subtle forms, such as people-pleasing or overworking to gain praise. Regardless of how it presents, the core issue is a disconnection from one's true self.

With awareness and effort, it is possible to overcome attention seeking behaviour. By understanding its roots and embracing our inherent worth, we can live more authentically and find fulfilment from within.

With your hosts, David James Lees (ordained Taoist monk, emotional and spiritual health teacher) and Alexandra Lees (mindset and business coach).
