We may believe that self-love is simply a state of feeling good because of the actions that support our physical and mental growth. But it’s a bit more dynamic than that. Self-love is when we begin to accept our weaknesses as well as our strengths, have less need to explain away our shortcomings, and have compassion for ourselves as human beings struggling to find personal meaning. This becomes possible when we begin to intentionally have thoughts about ourselves that create the feeling of love. This is the key to loving yourself. Listen in as I explain how you can create thoughts that nurture self-love and turn them into beliefs that serve you.

Amazing things can happen when we start loving ourselves more. This means loving ourselves through all seasons of life. Good things and bad things happen to everyone, but the individuals who are most happy are the ones who manage both with ease and grace. This means that we must love ourselves not only when we are living in the vibrant colors of life but also when we are living in the more dull, dark moments as well. There is great value in loving ourselves in the lowest moments in our life. You may be asking how you can make the shift in your life from beating yourself up when you're down to loving yourself regardless. Listen in and learn how.

We have thousands of thoughts running through our minds at any moment and so whatever we choose to focus on and think is what our brain will seek evidence to prove. I will share how we can connect to our subconscious, reprogram our negative thought patterns, and create a new life for ourselves by changing the optional sentences in our minds. When we intentionally instruct our brain on what to look for, our life changes. Press play to learn how to train our brain to fetch evidence of our self-worth, value, and adequacy.

In today’s episode, I want to share with you a concept called the motivational triad. This concept is crucial because it explains how our brain works and why we do some cray-cray things. The primary purpose of our lower brain is straightforward. Its priority is to keep us alive. Our brains focus on three simple motivations: seek pleasure, avoid pain, and stay the same. When we desire to grow, this goes against our primitive brain function and often causes us to revert from chasing our goals or dreams. This is when our brain will start to F*ck with us! All the not-enoughness will come up. This behavior pattern can be corrected, and I will share with you the formula to stop thinking and playing it small and start to build the foundation to create the life that we want.
