Today, I'm going to be talking about how to be kinder to yourself, how to accept yourself more, how to be more loving to yourself. And one of the things that I hear from people a lot is that people, let me just be real, people are really... kind of mean to themselves. Like a lot of people are such assholes to themselves in their own head. They talk negatively to themselves.

They talk down to themselves. They say things to themselves that they would never say to anybody else alive, especially someone that they love. And they probably won't even say to their worst enemy. And then they come in and they say, well, how can I be kinder to myself? How can I love myself more? And I think instead of looking at it by saying, how can I love myself more?

Because if you have this negative hatred self-talk to say, how can I love myself? It's kind of too much of a change. And so what I really think we should start thinking is instead of how do I love myself more, is how can I accept myself more? I think that's a better phrase. It's not really about love. What it's about is about acceptance.

The things that you don't love about yourself in reality is just you not accepting certain aspects of yourself. And the barrier to self-love is self-acceptance. And so what I would prefer that we focus on is self-acceptance, to accept yourself fully, to see your flaws and to start accepting your flaws more. Because behind all of the self-judgment is love and

And the doorway to get there is acceptance. I think that our natural state as a human is love. And that would be for others, but also for ourselves. But we're raised in a society and we're raised with people who, you know, don't have psychology degrees and they don't know about how a child's brain works and all this type of stuff.

145.739 - 167.555 Rob Dial

We're kind of raised, and I'm going to talk about today, in a way that... kind of takes us away from our own personal self-love. You know, I don't see a baby walking around with self-love issues. I don't see, when I look at my son, I don't see him struggling with self-love. He's pretty damn happy like 97% of the time. The only time he's not happy is when he's hungry.

168.456 - 181.684 Rob Dial

when he's tired or if he shit his pants. That's about it. Other than that, he's happy as hell. So I don't really see babies with self-love issues, which means that lack of self-love is somehow learned along the way.
