What does it really mean to love yourself?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Some day I will petition the dictionary people to change the definition for self-love, but for now to set the record straight, here\u2019s a truthful definition for self-love: Self-love is the unconditional love and respect you have for yourself that is so deep, so solid, so unwavering that you choose only situations and relationships \u2013 including the one you have with yourself \u2013 that reflect that same unconditional love and respect.<\/p>\n<p>In our culture, there are a lot of words other than self-love that people are much more comfortable using \u2013 self-esteem, self-awareness, self-care, self-worth, self-compassion \u2013 words that many people mistakenly believe are the same as self-love. While all the ideas expressed by these words are components of self-love, none alone is a synonym for self-love. Love is a specific, un-paralleled, and all-powerful vibration, and none of these aspects of self-love has that power on their own \u2013 but put them together and WOW! You\u2019ve got a tree of self-love!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/40daysofselflove.com\/madlyinlovewithme\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft  wp-image-6861\" style=\"margin: 10px;\" title=\"The brighter you SHINE, the more you CREATE.\" src=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/arylo_c_qt-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"198\" height=\"198\" srcset=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/arylo_c_qt-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/arylo_c_qt-160x160.jpg 160w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/arylo_c_qt-520x520.jpg 520w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/arylo_c_qt-720x720.jpg 720w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/arylo_c_qt.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 198px) 100vw, 198px\" \/><\/a>Okay, so say I do believe that loving myself is a good idea, how do I actually do it?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Once a person gets that loving themselves is a good idea, and they get past all that fear around it being selfish or vain, they always ask, \u201cHow do I love myself?\u201d Self-love can feel so vast and esoteric and it can get thrown around casually, \u201cOh, sure I love myself,\u201d when if you were to look at that person\u2019s life you would see the areas where they do choose love and where they don\u2019t act lovingly towards themselves. Loving yourself isn\u2019t black and white, as in either you are a person who does or doesn\u2019t. It isn\u2019t some nirvana state you master and achieve and then can just forget about. Loving yourself is a choice you make, or don\u2019t, in every moment of every day for the rest of your life.<\/p>\n<p>The first step is to become aware of the ways in which you are a rock star at being a best friend to yourself and the ways that you have a hard time making choices and taking actions that align with love. To make this accessible and tangible for people, I teach the 10 Branches of Self-Love and guide people how to identify where they are weak so they can GROW their self-love in this place, and also how to identify where they are strong, so they can make KEEP the love flowing, and also make sure they don\u2019t over-rely on any one branch, which will throw you out of balance.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>You say that it\u2019s possible to have too much self-esteem. What do you mean?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Self-esteem is the strong belief in and regard for yourself. It is a strong confidence in your ability to do and be anything. And while we definitely want to foster self-esteem (it wasn\u2019t that long ago that self-esteem wasn\u2019t a common culturally acceptable ideal), self-esteem on it\u2019s own is not enough \u2013 it&#8217;s only 1\/10<sup>th<\/sup> of the self-love equation.<\/p>\n<p>Without self-compassion, you can have tons of self-esteem, but you will be extremely hard on yourself. We are creating a culture of hardened high achievers failing to use the power of the tools of the heart \u2013 equating confidence to strength and compassion to weakness, which just isn\u2019t true. Today, women and children are extremely emotionally hard on themselves, driven by the unrealistic expectations to do, be and have it all. And with little training and understanding of self-compassion, they silently beat themselves up, all the while appearing like they have it all together to the outside world.<\/p>\n<p>You need all 10 branches of self-love \u2013 self awareness &amp; honesty, self-acceptance, self-care, self-compassion &amp; forgiveness, self-trust, self-esteem, self-empowerment, self-respect &amp; self-honor, self-pleasure, and self-expression cared for, nurtured and fully blooming.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/40daysofselflove.com\/madlyinlovewithme\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft  wp-image-6862\" style=\"margin: 10px;\" title=\"Be Your Own Best Friend\" src=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/pic2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"203\" height=\"166\" \/><\/a>Is it true that you actually got the day before Valentines Day &#8211; February 13<\/strong><sup>th<\/sup><strong> \u2013 officially dedicated to be the international day of self-love? What\u2019s this all about?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With SO much attention given to Feb 14<sup>th<\/sup> and Valentines Day, and frankly a day that currently causes more suffering than happiness, I knew we needed the day before to be a day when people could take their love power back \u2013 to get that they are loved even without a romantic partner \u2013 and a day when people could fill themselves up first with love so they had extra to give.<\/p>\n<p>On Feb 13th, I invite people to choose one branch of self-love and make a promise to themselves that will help them grow that branch all year long. These promises give people an anchor point to come back to during their day to day life, to choose love. For example, if your branch is self-pleasure, your promise might be \u201cI choose to have fun and do what brings me joy no matter how much work there is to do.\u201d Or if your branch is self-care your promise could be \u201cI promise to ask myself what I need and then take action to give that care to myself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Every February, our team, Team Love goes on the road and holds self-love-a-poolza\u2019s, and our Love Ambassadors around the world throw self-love parties of their own. Last year 500 people threw parties in 31 countries and 41 states. Which makes for a lot of people taking and keeping the promise to love themselves all year long.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What advice would you give to a mother raising her child, to teach them how to love themselves?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Love yourself, she will watch you and follow your actions. Tell her how sacred she is. Encourage her to follow her heart. Teach her to source love from within. Talk to her about comparison and why it\u2019s crazy \u2013 there is no on else like her and that\u2019s a good thing! Show her where her value comes from by valuing being as much as you do doing. Listen to her, and teach her to trust her inner wisdom, even over your own opinions. See her, really see her for who she is, not a reflection of you, but a unique imprint of divine love. Empower her to follow her heart, even when it makes no sense to anyone else. Make her feel loved, no matter what.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thanks Christine!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On Amazon:\u00a0<a title=\"Madly in Love with ME: The Daring Adventure of Becoming Your Own Best Friend by Christine Arylo\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1608680657\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=1608680657&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=bethbaracreac-20\" target=\"_blank\">Madly in Love with ME: The Daring Adventure of Becoming Your Own Best Friend by Christine Arylo<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For an excerpt of Christine&#8217;s book, go here to read an excerpt\u00a0on Scribd:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/T8z5in\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/T8z5in<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about Christine&#8217;s Self-Love day and movement, and for lots of goodies: <a title=\"Madly in Love with ME: The Daring Adventure of Becoming Your Own Best Friend by Christine Arylo, site and book\" href=\"http:\/\/madlyinlovewithme.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">MadlyInLoveWithMe.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><br \/>\nChristine Arylo is a transformational teacher, an internationally recognized speaker, and the author of Choosing ME before WE.
