<p>I want this year to be the best year of your life. </p><p><br /> </p><p>So we’re going to talk about the one habit that researchers say has the biggest, overall impact on the quality of your life. </p><p><br /> </p><p>And that habit is learning to be kind and loving to yourself. </p><p><br /> </p><p>We all know we need to learn how to love ourselves, but no one has taught you HOW. </p><p><br /> </p><p>Until now.</p><p><br /> </p><p>In this episode, I am teaching you how to start loving yourself with a simple habit that you can add to your morning routine. </p><p><br /> </p><p>I’ve got loads of research to prove why this habit matters and how it will change your life. </p><p><br /> </p><p>And bring your Kleenex.</p><p><br /> </p><p>Today I’m not only answering questions from some listeners about self-love, I also invited my husband, Chris, to come on and explain why he thought this habit was so stupid when I first shared it with him. </p><p><br /> </p><p>The conversation took a turn that I was not expecting.</p><p><br /> </p><p>It gets very personal and both Chris and I end up crying. He shares details about a period of his life where the shame and sense of failure were so palpable that he couldn’t even look himself in the mirror. I’m so proud of him, and moved by his vulnerability.</p><p><br /> </p><p>This is an episode every man, boy, or anyone who identifies as male needs to hear. It’s not just we women who struggle with self-love; the men in your life are struggling, too. That’s why we all need to be practicing this habit every single morning. </p><p><br /> </p><p>You’re going to learn that love is not something you feel; it’s something you must demonstrate. And that’s what I’m going to teach you to do. </p><p><br /> </p><p>You’ll want to listen until the very end, because you’ll meet a woman whose entire life trajectory changed by simply trying this habit once.</p><p><br /> </p><p>Want to learn more?
