Judgement Detox
Release the Beliefs That Hold You Back from Living A Better Life, by Gabrielle Bernstein
Judgement Detox is on my self-development must read list for the year.
It is my third Gabby Bernstein book in this challenge, and the good vibe addiction is so real.
I mean, who doesn’t want to release beliefs that are holding you back from living out the incredible life you’ve always imagined!?
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people will not feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
— Marianne Williamson
Soon after I got on the Gabby train, I found out she had one night event in the UK this year — and it was coming up quick!
She was on tour speaking about this book, so I purchased my ticket (and the book), and dove into reading it before the event.
“The root cause of all judgment is the fear of not being good enough, not being worthy of love, and not being safe.”
I strongly recommend that you read this book. If you were attracted to the title of this article, that is a sign you are ready to let go of the shit holding you back.
DO IT!
LET THAT SHIT GO!
It is scary and difficult, but damn is it so fucking worth it to feel happy and carefree every day.
Gabby gives it to you straight, raw, and real.
I have found no clearer guide than this book in releasing the fears that hold me back and learning how to love and accept myself fully.
“Remember: If we were happy and complete, we wouldn’t judge.”
“Love can seem far scarier to us than fear.
We’re terrified to let love in, because we fear that when we do, we’ll be susceptible to more pain.”
It was three years ago I started on my own spiritual journey, after getting divorced and hitting rock bottom in complete despair and self loathing.
I couldn’t stand myself, I was so angry at everything all the time, I never felt happiness (even at times I should have), and the animosity I held deep inside me gutted me to the core.
Eventually it got so bad, and I was so profoundly miserable, that I gave myself the decision of either truly giving up once and for all, or to start fighting for this new life I had battled so hard for my divorce for.
I chose to fight.
It was the best decision I ever made — I am a completely new, happy, carefree woman today.
“I’m working my happiness like a full-time job.”
I hadn’t found Gabby at that point in my life, but I did connect with other spiritual teachers along my journey, hiring a life coach at one point to hold me accountable and guide my healing, and discovered all these methods that Gabby includes in this book.
I invested (and continue to do so to this day) a decent amount of time and money to figure my shit out / take care of myself, and it was the best gift I’ve ever given myself.
Give yourself the gift of this book, and let it take you through fundamental steps you need to heal your life. You just have to put in the time and do the work.
“If we want to live a miraculous life, we must raise the volume on the loving voice within us and turn down the volume on our fear.”
“The moment you accept that there’s a guidance system supporting you, then you experience a new sense of freedom and peace.”
EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) is the most powerful tool I have discovered in my spiritual journey, and Gabby covers all the details for you in this book.
If you have any pent up emotional blockages (don’t we all), you need to try EFT. You will be amazed and relieved by the instant results in your life.
Bernstein also provides a plethora of other tools, including guided meditations, mantras, and an entire journal’s worth of writing prompts to help you on your journey.
I encourage you to never give up and keep moving forward.
Take it one step, one day at a time, and you’ll make it to the other side when it’s right. I believe in you!
