The simple way of thinking about Self Love versus Loving Self?
In this modern world of Self, individualism, self isolation, selfies, and #selflove etc, are there any differences? I propose that there are. Many individuals on Twitter for example, will frequently post about #selflove . But what does that mean? Is it a term for giving oneself love, telling oneself "I am beautiful" "I am worthy" " I am loved..." "I am strong.." or any of the many other mantras people will use. Is it taking a glam selfie, with or without the filters, the running a candlelit bath, that quiet walk alone out of the home office, away from the partner or kids etc..…. Or is self love, in reality a glib phrase used to help us just feel a bit better in the moment? On the other hand, what about loving oneself? Is it just semantics really? Some lesser educated individuals would say that they are one in the same, and that self love is the same as loving oneself, and we are just splitting hairs or playing with semantics. Howe
