How Self-Forgiveness Can Be So Powerful
When we think of forgiveness, we’re often thinking of forgiving someone else for wronging us.
But we’re not thinking about forgiving ourselves for a mistake or an error.
We often carry our own mistakes with us and remind ourselves of them internally.
This behavior can be destructive, as the inner voice we all have is quite powerful in the way it shapes our thoughts and our behavior.
It is important to learn how to forgive yourself as it allows you to put your best foot forward and to move past your previous mistakes
Most People Carry Their Mistakes Indefinitely
When you continue to carry your mistakes with you, then its weight drags you down and make it almost impossible to move forward.
It is akin to wearing ankle weights and a weighted vest while trying to compete in a track meet.
Holding on to your mistakes isn’t going to help you, all it is going to do is keep you living in the past.
Learning To Forgive Yourself Isn’t Always Easy
It is important to recognize that selfforgiveness is not easy and it will not happen overnight.
This is a long process, where you are going to have your ups and downs. You must remain committed to improving your outlook over time.
Forgive But Learn The Right Lessons
Although it is critical that you learn how to forgive yourself, you also have to learn the right lessons.
If you made a mistake, you want to make sure that you learn why and how it was made.
After you’ve figured that out, you can stop blaming yourself and move on with a clear conscious.
Self-forgiveness can be very powerful when it is applied correctly. You must learn how to forgive yourself while not forgetting the lesson.
This isn’t an easy process, and it can take months or even years to learn how to properly forgive yourself for past mistakes and move on.
But once you have the ability to forgive, it is like having a weight lifted off your shoulders.
You can finally put your full effort into new tasks and projects without thinking back on your past mistakes.
This sense of clarity and purpose can help you to focus on what is important, instead of living in the past.
