Self Love

“If you actually look up the definition of self-love on dictionary.com it say’s ‘vanity, conceit, and narcissism.’ It’s crazy! We wouldn’t tell our kids, ‘Hey you, don’t take care of yourself, don’t love yourself, don’t make your happiness a priority.’ But we tell ourselves that all the time,” Christine Arylo on women and self love.

As part of Christine Arylo’s Madly in Love with ME™ movement I’m vowing to fall madly in love with me and the first step is to write my own personal definition of self love.

My Self Love Manifesta

Falling madly in love with me means

• Accepting every part of ME as divine love.

• Not changing ME to fit in with them.

• Doing it my way.

• Holding on to my dreams, even if others cannot see the vision.

• Choosing to live my life, my way.

• Standing by my beliefs, even if they are different from yours

• Knowing that your truth is yours and mine is mine and they don’t necessarily have to be the same truth.

• Opening my heart, even when others choose to remain closed.

• Standing up for and speaking my truth.

Madly in Love with ME™ was created by Christine Arylo, author of Choosing ME before WE, Every Woman’s Guide to Life and Love and it kicks off every year with International Madly in Love with ME™ Day on February 13th.

The Madly in Love with ME™ movement was created to inspire, dare, and guide women and girls around the world to fall more in love with them selves.

With events in cities around the world on February 13th, and a plethora of virtual opportunities women can use to create their own self-love extravaganzas, we are on a mission to reclaim self-love as hot, hip and hers for every woman and girl

Do you remember that great 80’s song by Chrissie Amphlet? It was a favorite of mine and it went like this….I love myself, I want you to love me.

I’m changing the words of that song today Ladies.

Today I’m singing “I love myself, I want you to love you”.
