The common definition of self-love is doing something for ourselves that may not be entirely good for us but feels good at the moment. In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros zero in on what self-love really means. They describe the moments when they were doing something for themselves after a hard day, week, month, or year. Sometimes we can go overboard on self-love and border on putting our future success at risk. The self-love we choose to do may not always move us forward to our goals and may also be a distraction from reality, where we are burned out. We need to pause and choose a self-love activity that fulfills us holistically.
