SL 365 | Day 39 | "Is there a downside to Self-Love?"

We move forward in our "Self-Love Reset" to, in a way, a second-guessing of our own preconceived notions about self-love and its healthy habits. Yesterday, we wrote a definition of Self-Love and today we're deconstructing that definition. Importantly, deconstruction is not about tearing something down--about Destructing it--but about investigation. Approach the task of deconstruction with a willingness to think differently about the topic, and a willingness to look at all sides of an issue. As you deconstruct your own definition of Self-Love, you can look at the different parts of it and see how they hold up next to each other; you can assess it as a whole and try to "poke holes" in your own ideas; or you can investigate the actions that go along with the definition--how well are you performing those actions? how often? how balanced? how aligned? This isn't just an exercise to have an exercise! Deconstruction allows us to challenge assumptions to ensure we are loving ourselves with authenticity, clarity, and compassion.
