Häufig gestellte Fragen
According to psychotherapist Natacha Duke, self-love is far from being selfish or indulgent; it is actually a vital act of self-preservation. This approach involves becoming your own best friend, especially when facing challenges or personal mistakes. By practicing self-preservation, you learn to offer yourself the same compassion, perspective, and support that you would naturally give to a close friend in distress, rather than resorting to harsh self-criticism.
The inner critic often acts as a source of internal negativity, frequently engaging in what Lena describes as a verbal beatdown after a mistake. This internal dialogue can be incredibly sarcastic and damaging to one's emotional resilience. Overcoming this inner critic is essential for mental health, as it allows individuals to stop waiting for external validation from partners or bosses and instead find security and success through a healthy relationship with themselves.
The relationship you have with yourself is the most important one you will ever have, as it dictates your overall happiness and even how financially comfortable you feel. Instead of waiting for a bank account balance or a promotion to provide a sense of security, building inner resilience through self-love creates a foundation for stability. When you stop waiting for others to provide validation, you become empowered to manage your own well-being and success.
The tripod of well-being focuses on building inner resilience by balancing different aspects of self-care and mental health. It emphasizes that looking inward is a necessary practice for staying grounded when things go sideways. By integrating the principles of self-love and self-preservation, individuals can create a sturdy internal structure that supports them through life's ups and downs, ensuring they are not solely dependent on external factors for their emotional stability.
