The truth may hurts sometimes, but Lizzo’s latest spout off wisdom is all about healing. 

The “Truth Hurts” singer performed at the 7th Annual We Can Survive benefit concert in support of the American Cancer Society and shared a few pearls about how to love yourself in between songs. 

“Sometimes it can be as important as standing up for yourself, honoring your emotions, speaking your mind and taking your time,” she told the audience at the Hollywood Bowl. “I recently just practiced self-care and I think you’re going to be very proud of me. Guess what I did? I finally blocked this boy on Instagram and deleted his number! Self-care, boo, self-care.”

Lizzo’s songs typically address feeling good about oneself, with her track “Juice” including the lyrics, “Mirror, mirror on the wall / Don’t say it, ’cause I know I’m cute / If I’m shinin’, everybody gonna shine.”

“I want people to feel good! We can heal the world but first, we have to heal ourselves,” she declared. 

Preach, sister!
