When you talk to yourself, what do you say most often?
Maybe a random thought comes recalling a past incident where you did or said something stupid? Or perhaps when you were wrong or made a bad decision?
Maybe you say things to yourself such as “you’re so stupid” or “you’ll never make it” or similar comments?
Maybe you hurt someone in some way. Your thoughts return to that.
You can’t forgive yourself.
We have been taught since childhood about forgiving others. And we should. Forgiveness is a helpful way of life.
It is not selfish to forgive ourselves.
In our nightly recap of the day where we reflect on where we were helpful and where we missed the chance, forgiving ourselves our shortcomings needs to be included. In that way, we can begin a new day fresh and ready for new adventures.
