I think for some people it takes both.

I’ve been successful in my work over the past decade, but no matter how many awards, how much recognition, or how much money I received, I always struggled with a negative inner voice telling me I was worthless, not living up to my potential, and that people didn’t like me. It was only after I started combatting these thoughts with daily affirmations that the voice turned around, and I recognized when I was feeding myself negative thoughts.
