I think self-forgiveness is a very important thing to do. In my opinion, it allows us to let go of the things that hold us back from becoming the best person that we can become. When we forgive ourselves for anything bad that we think we have done, it allows us to better help ourselves right now and in the future, which only allows us to become better people.

This all sounds a lot easier said than done. It's easy to say "just forgive yourself" but for someone it could be difficult to move on or forward because of dwelling on the mistake. Some things take a longer time than others, but realization is the best first step.

Forgiving one-self for something that they did which hurt the other person.. is really hard. For me, I was forced to make a few choices regarding my first and only relationship, that hurt my partner a lot... and then I was in my guilt mode for an entire year...

He said that it was too late to apologize ... because he had changed and the gy whom I hurt was no longer there...

So, I don't really think I ever forgave myself, but now I just don't think about it... it has become one of the harsh realities of my life that i never want to live through again...

This is a wonderful concept, but for me has been hard to overcome. I have told from a young age that i was a certain way, because that was the way i was born, and even so i knew this was not true i buried a grudge within myself saying " i can never forgive myself, because this you i made myself to think."

i want to forgive myself, i really do but i guess it's harder for me,because in a way its because i was just born this way.

It's interesting how many times I may not be consciously aware that I'm being so hard on myself. I'm now more aware and after much therapy but it's still an uphill battle. Thanks for video, it's a timely reminder for me personally. xox
