To get love we have to love ourselves first.
Check out this excellent Ted Talk on emotional hygiene.
How to practice emotional hygiene | Guy Winch | TEDxLinnaeusUniversity
This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. We have medicine cabinets for common physical injuries like cuts and colds but no toolkits for common psychological injuries such as failure, rejection, guilt, and loss.
