  • What if being enough is far more simple than you think? In this episode I'm sharing how to fill your cup of enoughness with acceptance of who you are right now, not a you in the future. I hope to meet you on Patreon this Saturday and once a month this year. Join here: / scottstemarie

    As you watch this video at this very moment, you are enough just as you are. Consider the reflection exercise and see when you felt your safest and most content. Also think about if the person with all the things, experiences and worldly success has more value and a larger soul.
    Stay awesome everyone and THANK YOU for watching.

      Scott- I spend a lot of time feeling inadequate, not enough and I never considered what feeling enough really meant to me until I listened to your thoughts on this subject. And it was those moments where I felt safe and someone was putting the kettle on. For me it was my friend’s family, Nick and Doug and their parents who made me feel welcome in their homes and that contentment I felt takes me to a place where I feel enough. It is a feeling of being happy in the moment surrounded by pleasant people. And yes, not having expectations brought about that feeling. You nailed it. You have a gift, Scott. You reached out to me and I’m thousands of miles from you in Kentish Town, north London. If you’re ever this way I’ll put the kettle on. The things you say are really nice, Scott. Thank you.

    The more I think about whether "I am enough", the more I recognise I actually just look at my ego. The image, that needs to be perfect and and in reality no matter how much it gets, the hole doesn't get filled. And the more I simply observe as this, suddenly the feeling of "being enough" disappears. It loses meaning. The feeling of enough satisfies the ego until it doesn't. The issue is not that we're not enough, it's about letting these thoughts take over and define us in my opinion.

    • @depressiontoexpression
      @depressiontoexpression  Před 5 měsíci +7

      Love it! I believe we need a healthy dose of the ego, as we need identity if we want to fully engage in the world as one of the people.

    • @TiManGames
      @TiManGames Před 5 měsíci +2

      @@depressiontoexpression I agree, we can't truly live without it. I believe that as long as we are aware of our ego and are able to simply observe and recognise it as something that doesn't fully define who we truly are, we can live a much happier life. Or at least a bit more peaceful life.

    You just want to say… you’re human. You are who you are, no matter what you do or how much you’ve achieved. You can just be you. And you laugh while saying it, and I can actually believe it. Love you

    I was abused by my parents and the trap of "not being good enough" has always been my downfall... I rely so much on other people's opinions... this is especially the case at work... even at 43, I still don't feel good enough at work... my manager doesn't think I'm good enough. I struggle to be heard in a room, so I often feel invisible and rejected. It's horrible. My job is my anchor in life and when I'm not goid enough there, it really consumes me 😢😢😢 I really appreciate your kindness and wisdom.

    You're a true blessing Scott. We're enough. I believe in Jesus and I know he says I'm enough just as I am, when I don't even do anything, but I still struggle with it a lot of the times because my feelings change like every 5 seconds 😂 So thanks for the heartfelt reminder and encouragement, friend. There is a song "Loved By You" by Unspoken where he sings about stressing over everything we do, feeling like we have to measure up, but God already run our races and won our fights. We can just rest.
    God bless you, have a great resting week, fam.

    Thank you very much, you have helped me a lot . This morning before listening to you I felt like I was dying. I live with a panic attack every day of the week. I will continue listening to you. I felt very identified with you in one of your videos in which you comment that you did everything to be well and everything stayed the same. I meditate, I practice gratitude, I exercise six days a week, I eat healthy, I take cold showers. But the only thing I haven't done is go to a psychiatrist because I don't like the idea of ​​taking medicine very much. But maybe it's what I need right now.

    Hello Scott,
    I feel that i have no aspirations, no grand goals i want to achieve. i dont wish to get high paying jobs or raise a family or see the world. I am currently working on a college degree, and i see my classmates get very prestigious internships constantly. Peers younger than me have achieved more, while i have had 0 internships no matter what. I cant blame anyone but myself as i didnt make the connections or put in the extra effort outside of class.
    However, i dont wish to pursue a career in that degree. i have no passion for it anymore, and im honestly not even trying as hard as i used to at college anymore. Right now I just wish to get a regular desk job paying any higher than minimum wage that will let me pay my bills and survive. I plan to save and invest, but i don't ever wish to climb corporate ladders or get high paying/high prestige jobs. I dont have any passions or hobbies i wish to pursue like art or music.
    Can you please talk about this lack of goals? everyone tells me i should be striving to achieve more and do whatever it takes to get internships and break into the industry, but I dont want to do this. I just want to be average. I dont like to try hard and be the best of the best. I dont want to have to grind projects, undergrad research, tutoring, and getting referrals just to land one internship, after which i will have to grind yet again to land one industry job. i feel terrified to put in my all to pursue these lofty goals and fail anyway.
    I'm not sure what i expect to hear from you regarding this, however you're one of very few people that have kind of validated my feelings while everyone tells me to pull myself up by the bootstraps. Maybe i am hoping to hear that it is okay to be a failure...
    I hope to hear your perspective on this soon. Thanks.

Thinking about all the valuable moments in my life truly opened my eyes as to how alot of the things I'm doing nowadays to comfort myself don't meet the conditions for a lasting memory 🫣. Sure listening to music all the time can be fun and help you process emotions, but all of my memories have been made around people, in quite places surrounded by love
