Episode 3232:

Leo Babauta explores how our deep-seated dissatisfaction with ourselves hinders our ability to form positive habits, maintain healthy relationships, and achieve true happiness. By shifting towards self-love and acceptance, we can transform our lives, fostering greater productivity, contentment, and meaningful connections.

Quotes to ponder:

"We are unhappy with who we are, sometimes in small ways but often in very fundamental ways."

"What if, instead of beating ourselves up (or blaming others), we just accepted what happened and then took appropriate action?"

"It starts with the simple intention to love yourself, to see yourself as adequate and worthy of love, to wish for your own happiness and the relief from pain and stress."
