Why and How to forgive ourselves

 

  • What’s done is done and nothing can undo it. Unfortunately, our life does not have the “undo” button. But, it does have the “delete history” so let’s use it wisely, and whereever needed. 

 

  • Do not be in denial. There is no escape there. Instead, admit to yourself that you made a mistake. To err is to human, right? No one is perfect The best of us make mistakes, and it will be ok.

 

  • Talk to a professional or a friend who will not judge you. There is more to you than just that feeling of remorse or guilt. At times, all we need is a pat on the shoulder from someone who cares.

 

  • I read somewhere, that “What others think of you is none of your business” So, its time (easier said) to throw off what other people think of you. Like we “hurt” ourselves,  other people also hurt us It does not mean they are bad. Quoting Misha. “ All are good people it’s just that you guys are having a disconnected moment” Besides, why give the other person so much power? Try to forgive them and yourself too.

 

  • The mistakes you make, take them as a lesson. Do not dwell on it.  and, also do not repeat them. Again easier said, than done. What I genuinely,  feel is that these habits will form with practice. The act of self-love is not going to be quick and on the flip of a switch.

Like we workout for a better physique, we will need to train ourselves slowly, to forgive ourselves.

We all make mistakes, and forgiving our own is the hardest. So, let’s try with forgiving others 🙂

 

If you are able to forgive yourself, please tell how did you train yourself for the same 🙂
