b'I want this year to be the best year of your life. \\n\\nSo we\\u2019re going to talk about the one habit that researchers say has the biggest, overall impact on the quality of your life. \\n\\nAnd that habit is learning to be kind and loving to yourself. \\n\\nWe all know we need to learn how to love ourselves, but no one has taught you HOW. \\n\\nUntil now.\\n\\nIn this episode, I am teaching you how to start loving yourself with a simple habit that you can add to your morning routine. \\n\\nI\\u2019ve got loads of research to prove why this habit matters and how it will change your life. \\n\\nAnd bring your Kleenex.\\n\\nToday I\\u2019m 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. \\n\\nThe conversation took a turn that I was not expecting.\\n\\nIt 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\\u2019t even look himself in the mirror. I\\u2019m so proud of him, and moved by his vulnerability.\\n\\nThis is an episode every man, boy, or anyone who identifies as male needs to hear. It\\u2019s not just we women who struggle with self-love; the men in your life are struggling, too. That\\u2019s why we all need to be practicing this habit every single morning. \\n\\nYou\\u2019re going to learn that love is not something you feel; it\\u2019s something you must demonstrate. And that\\u2019s what I\\u2019m going to teach you to do. \\n\\nYou\\u2019ll want to listen until the very end, because you\\u2019ll meet a woman whose entire life trajectory changed by simply trying this habit once.\\n\\nWant to learn more? All of the research - and there\\u2019s a lot of it - is linked in the show notes at melrobbins.com/podcast.
