Jennifer Lopez looks back at self-love journey

Recently, Jennifer Lopez appeared in an episode of Coach Conversations with Jay Shetty and talked about what therapy taught her and her journey of learning to love herself.

The 51-year-old wondered why there are not classes for emotions, she said: “They should have a whole school for that”.

“I always say, why don't they teach kids from a very young age to love themselves. Or a course, or something!” she added.

“I remember when I was going through therapy, in the beginning, kind of in my late 30s, and there was a lot of talk about loving yourself,” Lopez stated.

“And I was like, 'I love myself.' But obviously, I was doing all these things like my personal relationships didn't seem like I was loving myself,” the singer continued.

“I didn't even understand the concept of [self-love]. It took time and it's a journey and it's still a journey for me.” Jennifer admitted.

“And the most important thing is you have to listen to yourself, and the words that you tell yourself. What you say and what you think -- and I tell this to my kids all the time -- becomes your reality.” JLo further added.
