Yes, you make a very good point.
I'm very careful about what exactly I'm recommending.
The gist is that we should all know how beautiful we are.
Which some people interpret as meaning we should all think we're beautiful.
But I think it probably better if we all know exactly how beautiful we are.
Naturally, "beautiful" is not really the point, per se. The idea is, whatever aesthetic you're judging, if you want to embody it (or if other people want you to embody it), then deviations from it will be considered negatively, and loss aversion will focus your attention on those deviations. It applies to whatever you might be judging about yourself.
