Forgiving Yourself
Forgiving yourself is something a lot of us have to do at times. You, me, our friends, and family. Everyone makes mistakes as they are apart of our learning, and growing in life.
What is something you forgave yourself for recently?
What steps did you take to forgive yourself?
How would you describe the sense of relief you feel when you've forgiven yourself?
I recently forgave myself for being a sore loser towards my boyfriend when he beat me fair and square in chess :) I talked it out with my boyfriend and looked at how I could have handled it differently, and asked him if he had forgiven me for it, in which he has, and he asked me to forgive myself. It was like a burden was lifted off my shoulders, when I forgave myself.

This is such an amazing post! ❤ I really liked the topic you chose. I think I still struggle with forgiving myself, it's hard. Although I've tried accepting my flaws as a part of who I am. I always try to forgive myself, sometimes it's harder. I know I should because otherwise I'm just not being at peace. This post has helped me really think about it, thank you so much for that!

Its very hard indeed. I still struggle to do that because of feeling guilty. Its a long process that includes accepting and loving yourself. I have brought pain and sorrow to my family. A pain that will last forever. My family members suffer from post trauma and they are emotionally struggling suffering and hurt. I can see the pain in all ways. They try to make it fade with shopping with working alot with isolation with everything that could make them numb and in denial. I don

This is always such a hard topic to discuss about. I recently decided to forgive myself for loving and caring for the wrong people and also for caring more than they probably deserved it. I think it's pretty cruel when someone pretends to care for us more than they actually do. It's pretty hard to know if they mean it or just faking it. I've learnt it the hard way that action speaks more than words. If someone decides to leave when things are not nice, it's best to let them go. They're not worth it. Sometimes, when you're happy and successful, everyone starts showing love. But that's just temporary. I've learnt not to fool myself into thinking that they all love me. I also forgive myself for saying "yes" to someone while saying "no" to myself.I also forgive myself for letting people take advantage of me and not standing up for myself.
