As important as it is, self-love does need a lot of encouragement from others and courage from within oneself to practice, to maintain and to thrive in love.

It's surely not an easy practise.
Fur example, one wakes up in they morning and doesn't want to go to work. One wants to stay in bed and watch Netflix. Will one love themselves enough to do that?
I wonder. 🤔
Haha, good question and I think we all wonder the same at some point.
It depends if one can still afford to pay Netflix next month (and of course a lot other things one wants to have) without going to work. Maybe one is self-employed so why not just watch Netflix now and work later. If not, delayed gratification may be a better choice of self-love, watch it later after work 😁
Sometimes I have to remind myself & others not to confuse self-love with self indulgence and neglecting responsibility & forgetting self-discipline. Keeping a balance is important.
It's a good point.
Yet, I challenge anyone to stay in bed as an act of self love and see what will happen. Either they will be promoted or fired and find a better job.😎
