You are likely no stranger to the "Where's Waldo" approach to self-love. It's always right in front of you but your eyes are distracted by the negativity that swirls through your consciousness. It's easier to turn the page than to sit and actually FIND the love, acceptance, and worthiness you have been seeking. Consider Naomi Teeter's "How I Learned to Love Myself" to be a handheld writing workshop in your self-love scholar pursuits. Naomi offers up a 10-Day Self-Love Challenge in "How I Learned to Love Myself" which sounds like a self-love oxymoron. However, loving yourself is a challenge when you start from the framework of replaying the old tapes from your ghost of negative self-talk past. Learning to love the parts of yourself you dislike the most is where most people start skipping class in their self-love journey. Naomi's newest book will help you down your path to becoming valedictorian of self-awareness and discovering your own story. Writing offers the gift of externalization. Taking your feelings, emotions, desires, and stories out of your brain and on to paper allowing you to see it and make it real. It awards us the chance to own it or create a new, more empowered story. "Owning your story is the first step" was a big part of Naomi's philosophy behind this project and an integral part of healing. Naomi has graciously provided the teachers (courageous contributors of this book) and homework (10-Day Self-Love Challenge) so you can finally move on from HOW to love yourself to SUSTAINING love for yourself. You can now let go of the aimless "Where's Waldo" style of finding your own acceptance. We only ask that you be open to the possibility that loving yourself is possible. Because you are worth it. No matter where life has taken you.
