\"\"<\/a>Today is Day 31 of my 31 Days of Self-Love posts to celebrate Self-Love Month<\/a><\/strong> with suggestions for jump-starting your own self-love and joining The Self-Love Movement<\/strong><\/a>\u2122.<\/em><\/p>\n

Today is the last day of Self-Love Month but it\u2019s also the first day of the rest of your life. This month hopefully began your journey into loving yourself, or loving yourself more. I hope you enjoyed giving yourself love enough to keep going. You can take the pledge again if that helps you continue to Commit to Yourself\u2014the mantra for The Self-Love Movement\u2122. Loving yourself can open many doors for you, including attracting more love into your life.<\/p>\n

* Self-love attracts love from Other People.
\n* Self-love motivates you to take care of your health.
\n* Self-love makes you more attractive to people who work with you.
\n* Self-love builds confidence.
\n* Self-love attracts healthy romantic partners.<\/p>\n

And the biggest for me: Self-love motivates you to stop being a people pleaser! I was able to leave DoorMatville once I began to love me. Why? Because I recognized that I was worthy of being treated well and to not feel obligated to do whatever people asked of me. The more I loved me, the more I set boundaries and made my own choices, not what others told me to do. I want you to reach the same kind of happy life that I have–with yourself at the helm instead of other people manipulating what you should want or do.<\/p>\n

Maya Angelou said, \u201cLove recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.<\/p>\n

Love\u2014for yourself and for others\u2014is the greatest catalyst for being happy.\u00a0 It\u2019s important to take the energy of the month and run with love for the rest of the year. The more love you give yourself, the better you\u2019ll feel. The better you feel, the more you\u2019ll want to do for you! I implore you to take the energy of Self-Love Month and run with it! Then your life will really be yours and you’ll be happy to be in it.

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\/3930","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=3930"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3930\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5234,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3930\/revisions\/5234"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3930"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3930"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3930"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
