“If you loved yourself, you would work harder.”
self-loveworkpotential
What It Means
Self-love is not self-indulgence. True care for yourself means pushing toward your potential.
Why It Matters
Inverts common self-love narratives. Creates productive reframe of hard work as self-care.
When It's True
When comfort-seeking is form of avoiding growth. When treating yourself has become excuse for stagnation.
When It's Risky
When used to justify chronic overwork. When self-worth becomes purely achievement-based.
How to Apply
1
When tempted to slack because you deserve easy
2
Reframe that future-self benefits from present-self pushing
Example Scenario
“Deciding to skip workout because you deserve rest. Recognize that future-self benefits from present-self pushing through.”
