Lewis Howes suggests treating yourself like you'd treat a child you unconditionally love: nurture it, protect it, stand up for its needs. Self-love isn't about achievements or how you look. It's about consistent care and acceptance from the moment you were born.
If you ask a parent, why do you love your child? A parent doesn't say, well, because they got an A in maths yesterday, and because, you know, have you, have you seen how hard they work at school? And forever, you know, they're— and they look so cute in that dress this morning. And you ask, why, why do you love your child? A parent will go, they're my child, they're mine. Well, what if you took that model and you used that as your model for self-love? How do you use that as your model? Well, imagine that on day 1, First day of your life, you were given a human, whether by God or nature or whatever you believe. It doesn't matter. This works for all belief systems. On day one, you have a human. Your only job in your life is to take care of that human. Yes. Look after them, nurture them, support them, encourage them, stand up for them. Try to give this human the best life you can.
