Enough as You Are: Turning Self-Judgment into Self-Love with Scott Stabile

In the introduction to my new book, Enough as You Are, I write the following:

Throughout these pages I reflect on ways to build up our self-acceptance and self-love, because our relationship to ourselves, more than anything else, informs how we show up in the world: what we think, what we say, and what we do. Our relationship to ourselves serves as the foundation for more or less meaning, connection, and joy in our lives. Let’s aim for more of all these things, because why wouldn’t we?

This workshop reflects the same mission as the book: improve all aspects of our lives for the better by improving how we relate to ourselves.

And please remember: The work of honest self-discovery and self-love never stops with self. It always serves all.

Self-love continues to be one of the biggest challenges for nearly all of us. If you're like me, you have a mind hellbent on tearing you down in myriad ways. Do any of these self-deprecating and limiting beliefs sound familiar?

* I'm too messed up to find a partner who will love me; I don't deserve to be loved.

* I'm too damaged to be happy.

* I'm just not talented enough / not creative enough / not smart enough.

* It's too late and I'm too old to change my life.

* I'm too ugly / too fat / too skinny / too short / too tall / too _____.

* I'm not worthy / not enough; I'm broken.

* I'm too much for most people.

* I've tried before and failed, and I'm sure I'll fail again, so why bother.

If you relate to any of those statements, even most or all of them, it's because you're human, and we all have self-abusive minds. Luckily, we also all have wildly self-loving hearts. With willingness and practice, you can become more aligned with your heart's compassion and praise than your mind's abuse. In turn, you will transform your life in unpredictable and beautiful ways.

In this workshop, you are going to learn practical techniques for working with your judgmental and self-defeating thoughts, and for building a relationship with yourself that is rooted in kindness, compassion and love.

Are you willing to love yourself like never before?

Are you willing to look at yourself honestly and give energy to your heart's intentions?

Are you willing to create more peace, more connection, and more joy in your daily life?

If you answered hell yes to these questions, then you're in the right place. Even if you answered maybe, you're in the right place.

Join me for Enough as You Are: Turning Self-Judgment into Self-Acceptance and Love, a workshop focused on the boundless power of self-love, and the ways in which you can integrate it into your everyday life.

There is no relationship more important than the one we have with ourselves. Still, most of us don't give enough energy to our self-care and self-love. We don't treat ourselves like our own best friends. We don't recognize how vital it is to fill our own cups first, so that we have more to offer others, and to offer our world.

I'm convinced the path to living a more joyful, peaceful and meaningful life begins with self-love. The more I've learned to love myself, the better I care for myself, and the more love I naturally generate toward others. There is no downside to self-love. Lots of upside, though.

Through discussion, Q&A, and some writing exercises (no writing experience necessary), we are going to focus on how absolutely worthy, enough and beautiful we are, as we are.

This workshop is for you if...

* You are willing to become your own best friend.

* You are ready to live beyond how and whom you've been conditioned to be.

* You are tired of playing small in order to meet the expectations of others.

* You seek alignment between your heart and your choices.

* You want to feel grounded in your sense of self, no matter what's going on outside of you.

* You feel called to impact our world in a positive and loving way.

* You're excited to engage with a group of supportive, open-hearted souls who, like you, see the value in intentional self-growth.

* You long to love yourself and your life with greater abandon.

* Something in your gut is saying yes yes yes.

Who is Scott?

I’m a transformational breathwork guide and the author of , , and Just Love. A friend once referred to me as a love activist, and that’s a description I happily own. I write, speak and give workshops on a lot of subjects — authenticity, trust, fear, compassion, joy, intention, visualization, conditioning and, of course, love and self-love — always with the intention of reminding you that you are a worthy, whole and loved human being. As is everyone else. I make a lot of noise for the power of love, and not from naivety. My head isn’t in the clouds. I believe love is our greatest healer, and with it at the root of our words and actions, we stand to create real healing in ourselves and our world.
