Everyone talks about self-love but I don't think people understand this concept. I have a mentee who has went to a couple of therapy sessions, read books and attended events on self love. Everyone says "You don't love yourself enough" but she felt when she asked "How do I love myself" , no satisfying answer could be found. I thought let me share what I taught her today with everyone else. I doubt she's the only one with this problem. These statements like self-love endup becoming cliches because those who use them don't understand them. When we fail to love ourselves we end up thinking that by redirecting that love to someone else, that person will give us back that love which we can't give to ourselves. Self love does not work like that. In fact saying "I love myself' doesn't help when you genuinely don't live yourself. If anything, it will make you really see all the things you do not love about yourself. You'll day you...
