The article titled "How to Cherish Yourself More" discusses the concept of self-cherishing as a means to feel more loved and to attract relationships that mirror the care we give ourselves.

How to Cherish Yourself More

If anyone deserves to make sure you’re cherished, it’s yourself.

One of the many things about attraction is that we are attracted to people, friends or romantically, who remind us of what is familiar.

Usually, that means we are attracted to people like our parents, but really it means we are attracted to people to treat us like we treat ourselves.

Many people might not experience a lot of warmth or cherishing growing up, so they have not learned how to cherish themselves. Yet, it is likely something many people want.

Cherish: to protect and care for (someone) lovingly.

Definition from Oxford Languages

Cherish is the opposite of betrayal in the sense. It’s the idea that someone is going to care for and protect you, hold you dear, and all in a loving manner. The more we can cherish ourselves in the relationship to self, the more we can feel more cherished in our lives.

This also means the more we are more attracted to people who cherish us. Because again, we are attracted to people who feel familiar.

So here is a list of ways to cherish yourself more. It takes at least 21 days to form a belief that you are cherished so I put 21 different ideas for things you could do to show yourself some cherishing:
