LOS ANGELES - s4story -- Melanie Sypherd's new book, 365 Days of Self Love, is a guided journal that facilitates ways for you to maintain or develop healthy habits to take care of yourself, physically, mentally and spiritually.

Sypherd guides you through an understanding that mindful self-love is not about being narcissistic or selfish. Rather, it is the polar opposite of that. This journal makes the case that you, too, are important and you deserve to be encouraged, nourished, uplifted and even de-stressed. The journal also makes the case that you have goals and dreams and you deserve to give them attention.

Most people are wonderful when it comes to uplifting a friend in distress, encouraging a lover who's felt the sting of failure, and celebrating their milestones (big and small), but never wholly there within when we need ourselves the most.

Sypherd reminds us on every page of this book that mindful self-love – is the first step to building a great relationship with yourself.

As you make entries into this journal, you will discover that independence from someone else's approval, criticism, and security is one of the most liberating things you will ever feel! By doing this, you're setting the stage for yourself – you'll begin to trust and believe in YOUR decisions, and act on them with confidence. When you have this kind of relationship with yourself, everything else becomes possible and a whole lot easier.

The book's most poignant message is basically if you don't stop dragging yourself down, you're never going to get very far in life because your proverbial battery will sputter out and quit, just like a car who is not taken care of or has no gas in its tank. Self-love gives you the strength and courage to pursue your dreams relentlessly, even on the bad days. You'll begin to recognize and prioritize your needs, and ultimately, prosper into the person you want to be.

The book, published through KMP Entertainment is now available at Barnes and Noble and other retailers.
