Love Yourself

So, What Is Self-Love?

Today, I’m going to briefly share with you what being a Self Love Coach means and help you ask the right questions to see if this is a journey that you need to dive further into.

I’m not a therapist, a doctor or a certified life coach, however, I have been mastering these tools from the ripe age of 16 and I have seamlessly transformed my life at every stage into a successful life I love! Through trials and tribulations just like all of you, I have practiced these life enhancing tools daily and they continue to be the foundation of my success.

Comparison. Distraction. Disruption.

Our lives are constantly filled with these three items every single day. So, how are we NOT supposed to feel threatened, insecure, insignificant, and hopeless in an environment that is constantly showing us people that are more “likeable”, “sexier”, “better off”, and all around “have their shit together”?

If you’re the average social media user, you visit various channels to catch up on the news, interact with friends, and let the world know what is going on in your life. While that sounds like fun, social media doesn’t always create positive experiences.

In fact, your self-esteem can take a nosedive each time you log into a social media network and we on average log in and engage 17 hours a day!!

Love Yourself Relationships

Become A Love Magnet

If you feel that you have stopped attracting what you want in life and/or in Love, then it is time to take a deeper look at what is going on with you.

Here’s the deal Lovelies, you don’t attract what you want. [inlinetweet prefix=”Here’s the deal:” tweeter=”” suffix=””]You attract what you are and what you focus on the most consciously or not. [/inlinetweet] You see, the world, the universe, is one big mirror. It reflects back to you exactly what you are. In other words, you don’t simply attract those things that you wish or hope for; you attract to you the circumstances and people that match how you’re feeling, functioning and showing up in the world; your energy, thoughts and beliefs physically manifested.

What we subconsciously value overrules our very desires.

For example, you may think you want Love, but in the depths of your soul your fear of getting hurt overrules your desire to be fully open, transparent and welcoming to a loving relationship. You may attract a variety of lovers but, I guarantee that more often than not, you will attract people who are unavailable in some shape, way or form. Your inability to attract Love is YOU unconsciously telling the universe to keep you isolated from emotional harm. Remember life is a mirror to your purest and deepest self.

[inlinetweet prefix=”#ChenoaSays…” tweeter=”” suffix=””]Attracting what you desire must start with YOU.[/inlinetweet]

This is the foundation.

This is the key.

Love Yourself Motivation

Love You’re Doing It Wrong

When it comes to Love, I believe we’ve been taught the wrong things.

Instead of cultivating a culture that embraces and leans into the twisted thrilling journey of Love, we’ve been taught how to judge it, limit it, control it, or give up on it before it even has a chance to bloom.

Loving others is indeed important, don’t get me wrong, but not at the expense of self.

We’ve been taught that in order to be valued we need another to desire us. Inherently leading us to believe we do not have any value on our own. We’ve been taught that loving others is more important than loving ourselves. “Loving others is indeed important, don’t get me wrong, but not at the expense of self.”

[inlinetweet prefix=”https://twitter.com/ChenoaMaxwell” tweeter=”https://twitter.com/ChenoaMaxwell” suffix=”null”]We give our Love away far too often and far too long to those undeserved.[/inlinetweet] That act can scar our experience in partnership and confuse our understanding of true Love. That only leaves us empty, closed, fearful, numb, frustrated, or angry at our notion and experience of that type of Love. Over the next several weeks of entries, we will come to an intimate understanding of what I’ve distilled Love to be.

Dissolve Stress Love Yourself Meditation

How to Go From 100 to Zero Real Quick

Breathing in, I calm my body. Breathing out, I smile. Dwelling in the present moment, I know this is a wonderful moment.

Thich Nhat Hanh

I NEVER miss a meditation!

For me, daily meditations have provided an ultra grounding platform that has allowed me the ability to become practiced in my present…my Now.

Living in the Now allows us to experience life in such a way that makes everything pop! All of your experiences, everything, is more vibrant, more colorful, more poignant with so much more meaning. [inlinetweet prefix=”” tweeter=”https://twitter.com/ChenoaMaxwell” suffix=”null”]Through meditation, becoming practiced in the present is like stripping away years of varnish that has been shellacked on to our lives. [/inlinetweet]Can you imagine? Some of us are completely lost in the smog of our lives completely unaware.

Some of us are completely lost in the smog of our lives completely unaware.

Being PRESENT is a necessary and very key ingredient to Living Limitlessly! Without the gift of being aware of the present, Love and the life you CHOOSE to design just doesn’t align with our message to the universe and our higher power. Unlocking a Limitless Life, is predicated on the basic principal of Love in all of its manifestations. That universal ingredient called Love is fortified and enhanced in the stillness of a peaceful heart and restful mind. In my opinion meditation is the most direct way to access and unlock that pure connection.

So how do you go from 100 to zero real quick? The first step is to…well, actually take the first step.

Dissolving stress, the management of day to day annoyances and the stopping of the white noise is imperative. Meditation is becoming more and more mainstream these days. Many people practice meditation hoping to stave off stress, mental frustrations and breakdowns.

A great meditation method we have found for beginners at Live Limitlessly, is Mindfulness meditation The practice involves sitting comfortably, focusing on your breathing, and then bringing your mind’s attention to the PRESENT without drifting into concerns about the past or future.

The practice of meditation does not require the focus and mental solitude of a Buddhist monk. It simply starts with a…start. If you have already taken our 30 Day Date Yourself Challenge: A Self + Love Experience you’re already familiar with the technique.

In the words of the great Zen Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh, “Being Peace: Breathing in, I calm my body. Breathing out, I smile. Dwelling in the present moment, I know this is a wonderful moment.”

Be Love. Live Limitlessly! xo
