Self-Forgiveness - A Short Video Message & Discussion
Watch this 3 minute video of me!It is a video message for all of youon the topic that has been on my mind this week: of self-forgiveness!
To me self-forgiveness is something we all can practice every day! Please watch the video and share your thoughts on this topic here :)
For those of you who don't know me yet, hello! I look forward to hearing what you have to say!
It is not always easy for a person to forgive themselves.
@laura how can I forgive myself of letting everyone walk all over me? What hurts the most is those people are the ones love the most.
@Sadheart80 Yes good question! Your loved ones can inflict a lot of pain- never being able to figure out how to forgive yourself to move on. Especially . ...if they don't think they're ever in the wrong?
I am dead serious when I say this... I'd rather die a million deaths that to forgive myself. I've done so many bad things I refuse to forgive myself
@KevinBoy85 I feel the same way. Sometimes I think that I don't deserve anything good that's why I'm hurting
There is no one harder on me than me but after watching your video I know I don't have to beat myself up about something I may have said out of anger. I am growing and I am reaching out for help with this and it's all a journey. When I make a mistake I feel it's pushing me back in my journey and I get even more upset with myself but I don't have to. It's a growing process, it's a journey. As long as I move forward and don't dwell on what I did I know I deserve self forgiveness because that's not who I am forever it was who I was in that moment. Thank you!
I wish I could he able to forgive myself. I feel like such an awful person.
This is such a pervasive problem for survivors of trauma as well. It is so easy to allow these false beliefs to linger for years. Sometimes, admitting circumstances are not within our control is the only way to let go of feeling as though "everything" is our fault.
It is a tough, but freeing step. Thank you so much for reminding me to pay attention to these feelings as they tend to sneak back into my thought process.
I tend to be my worst critic as so many others on this feed have expressed. It is always nice to step back and gain a more accurate perspective.
This post and thread will certainly be on the list of things I am thankful for on Thursday ❤️
Jealousy, insecurity and fear caused me to create rules, argue and emotionally hurt my husband by not trusting him. I am trying to work on myself and I want us to move forward but we can't seem to get out of the past. We're falling apart. I can't forgive myself for starting our relationship the way I did. And now I am afraid I have damaged us forever.
It's very hard for me to practice this. I can't help but stay angry or disappointed in myself. It takes a very long time or there are things I have never forgiven myself for. I think there is also some level of self-resentment for things as well.
I will keep trying to forgive myself as easily as I can forgive others. Just looks like a long road right now.
I forgive myself for doubting myself, for second guessing myself. I forgive myself for not validating myself. I forgive myself for dismissing myself. For not listening and giving my attention to the little voice inside of me. I know I'm on the right path and life is going to be good for me.
