Why I’m Spending the Rest of the Year Exploring Self-Love Practices?

Do you ever feel like self-love isn’t made for you?
Like it’s reserved for the perfectly curated, Pinterest-perfect lives of people who already have everything together? The ones with 5 a.m. routines, green smoothies, and glowing skin? If you’re like me, you don’t just struggle with self-love—you wonder if it’s even meant for people like us.

Hi, I’m Nick, founder of Self Loathe Club. I created this space for weirdos like me, the ones who feel like they don’t belong or don’t deserve good things. Self Loathe Club is about breaking the stigma around self-love and mental health. We’re here to make these conversations real, raw, and accessible—far from the picture-perfect nonsense we see online.

But let me be honest: while I’ve built a brand around this idea, I’ve never truly practiced it myself. That’s where this experiment comes in.


What I’m Doing

Every day for the rest of the year, I’ll try a new self-love practice. I’ll dig into the science behind why it’s supposed to work, share how it feels for me, and see if it can actually make a difference. Spoiler alert: I’m keeping it real. No forced positivity or unattainable expectations—just authentic, unfiltered attempts to figure out what works for people like us.

I’m not a therapist or a doctor, so take this journey with a grain of salt. But I believe in making self-love more approachable for people who’ve always felt left out of the conversation.

Self-love doesn’t have to look like bubble baths and inspirational quotes. It can be messy, awkward, and imperfect—and that’s okay.

Let’s see where this goes.

How This Fits with Self Loathe Club

Self Loathe Club isn’t about perfect routines or Instagram-worthy self-care. It’s about creating a space for people who feel like self-love isn’t for them. This challenge fits right into that mission—making self-love practices less intimidating and more real.

Every day, I’m testing these practices for people like us: flawed, anxious, and struggling, but still here. Because at the end of the day, we deserve to feel a little less alone—and maybe even a little better.

Let’s see what's gonna happen.
