What Self Love Looks Like

Thursday, October 22nd, 2026. So here is what I believe is my definition of self-love, although it's not really quite a definition. It's more of an analogy or a way of picturing the way that I see self-love.

I see self-love as living each day. in a way in which my future self or my tomorrow self will benefit. So, in other words, I'm living my life and I am positioning myself in such a way that my tomorrow that the version of myself, that the tomorrow version of myself will be very grateful for. 

And um, It's definitely like, um, you know, something that rings true to me because if I'm able to, let's say, for example, um, treat myself in a way in which my future self will benefit tomorrow, then, you know, my future self tomorrow will be better off than the version of me that I am today, if that makes sense. 

So this could be applied to pretty much any situation, any habit, and any goal that I'm trying to achieve. 

For example, better health, for example, more mindfulness, for example, um, you know, making financial decisions today that will benefit my financial position tomorrow. Like that is my definition of self-love. 

And I use my imagination effectively to differentiate today from tomorrow, today from yesterday, so to speak. So if I wake up every day as a different version of me, and let's say, for example, after today, the today version of me dies, and then tomorrow a new version of me is born. 

Then I am able to effectively detach myself from myself and love myself as though I am a different person because for some reason there seems to be an interesting distinction between the way that we treat ourselves and the way that we treat others. 

Sometimes it can be quite difficult for us to love ourselves. Which is why, for some reason, quite strangely, when we love others or we treat other people, we seem to treat other people with more love, care, and attention than we do ourselves, which I find particularly strange. 

Um, and this is something that I've definitely struggled with myself, but by essentially coming through and, you know, looking at myself and looking at the tomorrow version of me as a different version than I am today, I am far easier, you know, I find it far easier for me to love myself in that regard.
