Forgiveness.
Without it, we can spiral into bitterness… even against ourselves. And
when we cannot forgive ourselves, we can begin to identify with our
mistakes. Rather than seeing something we did (or didn’t do) as being
separate from who we are, we assign meaning that isn’t necessarily
truth.
But
what if we could step back and assess ourselves and our decisions in a
new light? What if we can release the guilt, shame and regret of past
mistakes? I have some thoughts and ideas, ones I’ve successfully used
myself, to help you do just that. I hope they encourage you and help you
learn how to forgive yourself. And, by extension of forgiving yourself,
help you to also forgive others.
“Part of
self-forgiveness is this idea: Can you accept that you did the best you
could at the time? And that now that you know better, you can try to do
better?” – Dr. Sara Dill
