Creating Pathways To Self-Love

With Padma Gordon

Learning to love yourself is the first step to loving your life. Self-love provides the foundation for healthy relationships and influences how you do everything. In this course, you will be guided to explore a variety of ways to access self-love. Creating these new pathways in your mind and heart has the potential to free you from the grasp of the inner critic and old thoughts about not being good enough or feelings of unworthiness. Creating these new pathways will open you to loving yourself and strengthen your ability to make authentic, self-respecting choices rather than being led astray by old patterning. Loving yourself makes life easier and supports you to thrive. May you enjoy the journey.
