Self Love<\/strong>
\nChanneled by Dr. Joy S. Pedersen <\/a><\/b>at request of Archangel Michael January 20, 2014<\/em><\/p>\n

You are a most precious child of the Creator loved beyond the imaginable.<\/em>
\nWhat you do to yourselves, however, is often unloving. You treat your neighbors better than you do yourself many times.<\/em><\/p>\n

I see your pain. I hear your anguish.<\/em>
\nYou want more for your lives but not sure how to get it. It starts with the love of self from within your own heart.<\/em>\"9781450297035_COVER.indd\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Treat yourself as the most important being on the planet. Put yourself first. Not in a selfish way but because you are honoring the self.<\/em><\/p>\n

Life was not meant to be about self sacrifice. Self sacrifice has caused more harm to humanity than you would ever realize.<\/em><\/p>\n

By denying the self, you deny the Creator within. By not putting yourself first and loving yourself enough, you deny the Creator and why He put you on this earth. He wants you to be, do and have what is possible for you by divine right. You deny yourself what the Creator has in store for you by not allowing yourself to be a priority.<\/em><\/p>\n

If you won\u2019t love yourself enough, please allow me to love you in your place. Honor yourself, your heart, your hopes and your dreams.<\/em><\/p>\n

You deserve everything that you desire within your own heart. Deny yourself no longer. I am here with you as is your Creator. Peace be with you.<\/em> Archangel Michael

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\/5340","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=5340"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5340\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5346,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5340\/revisions\/5346"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5340"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5340"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5340"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
