190: 4 Self Practices for February: Self Acceptance, Self Compassion, Self Love, and Self-Care
Sat Feb 07 2026
Welcome to February and the month of love here on the Habit Thrive Podcast!
On Episode #190 today, we're exploring the language of self-care that’s everywhere right now—and we're asking an important question:
Are self-acceptance, self-compassion, self-love, and self-care really the same thing… or do they each invite us into something different?
Together, we break down these four concepts and why understanding the distinction can help us experience them more intentionally and more fully.
What self-acceptance really means, and how it allows us to be fully humanHow self-compassion supports us when we struggle or make mistakesWhy self-love is about worthiness, not behaviorHow self-care becomes more meaningful when it’s rooted in awarenessWhy noticing our habits is the first step toward change
Rather than separate ideas, these practices form a living ecosystem—shaping how we speak to ourselves, treat ourselves, and show up in our lives.
✨ This week’s invitation: notice, journal, question, and stay curious.
Next week, we’ll explore why these distinctions matter and how they play out in our everyday habits.
