Summary
Loving yourself is not the equivalent of self-care. We can take all the actions in the world and do self-care routines but if we don't change our brains we don't change the feelings. Instead, you might find yourself forcing the self-care routines vs letting them come to you naturally and organically. Two of my clients recently mentioned that "dating someone will have to be better than what it's like to hang out with myself" and getting to the place where you are so obsessed with you than any other relationship has some serious competition to your relationship with yourself is where you're headed with true "loving yourself".
In this episode:
- What does it mean to love yourself
- How do I know if I'm actually loving myself vs just doing the self-care actions
- 3 simple steps to loving yourself during your breakup

| 0:56.0 | better than what it's like to hang out with myself. They love hanging out with themselves and |
| 1:03.9 | they love who they are and have a blast, just doing them. That they were like, yeah, dating, yes, but those men have like a tough |
| 1:13.4 | competition going for them because it's going to have to be better than what it's like |
| 1:19.8 | to be with me and to spend time with me. |
