    To add to this, you can do this to yourself as well. Reward yourself for the right behavior, tell yourself your did a good job, etc. It’s (I’m guessing) harder than extrinsic motivation, but it still works. Take advantage of having a stupid lizard brain under all the stuff that makes us human.

      I feel like this was ultimately the point of the love yourself movement. I don’t know how you could convince yourself to love yourself without conditioning yourself to do it, too.
