\"\"<\/a>Today is Day 24 of my 31 Days of Self-Love posts to celebrate Self-Love Month<\/a><\/strong> with suggestions for jumpstarting your own self-love.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em>This is post 172 in my series on the Law of Attraction in Action. You CAN use your power to attract all that you need. I do it every day! Read all the posts in my Law of Attraction in Action Series<\/strong><\/a> to see how.<\/p>\n

The best way to get yourself into the positive vibration needed to attract what you want is to put your attention into appreciating you. Everything you consciously value in yourself makes you feel happier and says, \u201cI love me!\u201d Self-appreciation sounds good but what does it actually mean?<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Recognizing your good qualities without dampening them with faults.<\/strong> When you don\u2019t love yourself, you focus more on what\u2019s wrong with you than what\u2019s right. That diffuses the joy you could have from all the good you are. The more you love yourself, the less you\u2019ll allow yourself to go to a negative place. That stokes the vibrations for manifesting.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Feeling pride in yourself NOW.<\/strong> Often we wait to feel proud until we reach big goals. If you want to lose 10 pounds, losing 5 won\u2019t elicit pride. I feel proud of every baby step I take, every pound I lose. Holding back on feeling proud tells the Universe you\u2019re not satisfied with your current progress, which keeps your vibration low. Like with expressing gratitude, pride in everything tells the Universe to bring more on!<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Acknowledging yourself out loud.<\/strong> Go to a mirror and say out loud, \u201cYou are terrific!\u201d and\/or \u201cI\u2019m happy to be me!\u201d and\/or your version of something very positive. Say what you appreciate about you. Feel it! It really does feel good once you get over any feelings of self-consciousness about talking to yourself in a mirror. Acknowledging yourself out loud can stir the positive emotions for manifesting.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Affirming, \u201cI approve of me as is.\u201d<\/strong> Say it to yourself whenever you can. Self-approval fuels self-love and can attract things you could never get before. Self-approval can attract the energy needed to lose weight you struggled with in the past. It makes you feel worthier, which improves self-confidence.<\/p>\n

The more you appreciate yourself, the more self-approval you build. And self-approval fuels self-love! It also increases your positive vibration for the Law of Attraction to bring you what you want, especially if you approve of every little step to manifesting instead of getting negative about not reaching bigger goals fast enough. So start appreciating yourself today so you can send the Universe the message, with a high vibration, that you value who you are and what you\u2019ve done so far in order to keep the positive manifesting coming.<\/p>\n

Let Me Count the Ways, a She's appeared on hundreds of TV and radio shows, including Oprah, Howard Stern, and Good Morning America and has been quoted in dozens of publications, including the New York Times, Chicago Sun-Times, Cosmopolitan, Redbook, Marie Claire, and Men\u00b9s Health. After being a consummate People Pleaser who felt unworthy of getting her own needs met for many years, Daylle found a path of self-love that enabled her to build her self-esteem and reinvent herself into a dual career. She learned to get taken seriously without being overtly assertive when she became one of the first women to start an independent record label (on a dare!) and learned to play ball nicely and successfully in an industry dominated by men. To help independent musicians empower themselves, Daylle writes music business books for Billboard\/Random House, including the very popular Start & Run Your Own Record Labe and I Don't Need a Record Deal! Daylle's books have been translated into over 10 languages and are popular around the world. She speaks for colleges, organizations and corporations. Through her company, Project Self-Empowerment, Daylle creates programs and materials to help people empower themselves. One goal is to raise the money to self-publish her book, How Do I Love Me? Let Me Count the Ways and give it away for free in colleges and through organizations, to give thanks for all her blessings. Daylle uses her writing and speaking to help others find the kind of contentment and empowerment that she has.","url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/author\/dschwartz"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2546","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/83"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2546"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2546\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2935,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2546\/revisions\/2935"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2546"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2546"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2546"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
