How do you LOVE yourself
If you don't even LIKE yourself?
LET’S GROW
Inevitably, when you are talking about working on yourself you come across the phrase that you need to “love yourself.” I'm not even sure what loving yourself means. I came across a podcast with Matthew Hussey where he said.

“You don’t have to like yourself to love yourself.”

That didn’t really compute for me, because in my mind, love comes after like. The next thing he said gave me a lot of clarity.
❝
“Love is a verb.”
When you start to look at loving yourself as an action, it shifts your perspective. Loving yourself is not necessarily appreciating who you are – it is about doing the things that make you feel appreciated.
