Join your host Jason Goldberg in another episode of the Jason Goldberg Is Ruining Podcasting Podcast! Today, Jason talks about feeling self-love, having self-confidence, and how important it is to practice these actions every day. Self-love is about caring and taking responsibility for oneself, so it’s normal to think we should have these feelings for others. But, shouldn’t we have these exact same feelings about us? “It may not seem this way on the surface but self-love can actually be an act of defiance. What if I don’t comply? What if I don’t waste my super limited time and energy trying to fit in? In a world where we were thought to live in compliance from an early age, it can feel really edgy to put ourselves first but that’s a big component of self-love.” – Jason Goldberg Lack of self-love not only affects the way we treat our own selves, but it’s also intrinsically related to the way other people view us. The curiosity here is: the way other people view us also influences how we treat us, thus creating an endless cycle. It’s important to remember to not live life like we are trying to pass someone else’s test because approval only needs to be met if it comes from within. Do YOU approve YOU? “At the end of the day self-love is what’s left over in the absence of self criticism and the absence of self criticism is what comes in the presence of self compassion.” – Jason Goldberg Another point that’s worth talking about is the idea that we repeat the same behaviors when we don’t practice self-love. Comparing ourselves with others, constantly looking for approval, seeking permission to be yourself, and outsourcing your feelings are all behaviors that are stopping us from loving the C.R.A.P. out of us. That’s exactly what Jason shares today.
