\"Dayle.jpg\"<\/a><\/span>Self-help books push building self-love but most people are still in
\nshort supply of it. It’s easy to encourage people to “love yourself” more and
\nsounds good, except to those who don’t know how to start. With pressure to look
\nand act perfect at an all time high, more people than ever don’t feel good
\nenough to be loved.
 
That’s why Beliefnet blogger and best-selling author, Daylle Deanna
\nSchwartz, registered January as Self-Love Month <\/b>in the National Special
\nEvents Registry, launched www.HowDoILoveMe.com<\/a><\/font>, and initiated a 31 Days of Self-Love Challenge<\/b>–a pledge to
\ndo something loving for self on every day of January 2011, to jumpstart
\nawareness of making an effort to treat oneself with kindness. Daylle’s book,
\nHow Do I Love Me? Let Me Count the Ways<\/i><\/b>, is available for free as
\nan e-book on the site. Its 223 pages has hundreds of suggestions for treating
\nyourself more lovingly.
 
Daylle wants people to develop the kind of
\nself-love, and happiness, that she did. She knows how it feels to look in the
\nmirror and only feel self-loathing. Years ago, all she saw in the mirror was
\ncellulite and frizzy hair. Her perceived flaws blinded Daylle to her wonderful
\nqualities. Self-love was just for other people!
 
Daylle found the key to
\nself-love when she began to treat herself a bit more lovingly. The kinder she
\nwas to herself, the better she felt. The better she felt, the more she made an
\neffort to do loving things. The synergy helped build strong self-appreciation,
\nwhich blossomed into powerful self-love.
 
Starting on January 1, 2011,
\npeople can post what they do to show themselves love on www.HowDoILoveMe.com<\/a><\/font>, to
\nhelp them reinforce each act of love and read what others do for more ideas.
\nDaylle will a 31 Days of Self-Love<\/b> marathon of articles on her popular
\nblog, Lessons from a Recovering DoorMat on Beliefnet, for the entire month of
\nJanuary. Daylle will give tips for building self-love as well as guest writers
\nand there will be interviews with inspirational people, including
\nSARK.
 
People can continue to post their self-loving acts for the whole
\nyear. There will be a new challenge for January 2012. <\/b>Daylle believes
\nthat each little self-loving thing you do–from taking a short walk on a busy
\nday, to getting a massage, to saying “I love you” in the mirror, to saying “no”
\nto something you don’t’ want to do, to a minute of deep breathing, to taking
\nsteps to find a better job, to making time for a bath, etc.– is a building block
\nfor the foundation of self-love.
 
As negative habits are replaced with
\nkinder ones, self-love can become a lifestyle. For people who take the 31
\nDays of Self-Love Challenge<\/b>, January could be the beginning of a beautiful
\nself-love affair!
