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!
when we don't forgive ourselves we get stuck in our problems and in our minds forever
Well said. It can be hard to keep these thoughts forever. Forgiveness is the only way.
Hey! This video is great and makes a big point -- letting go. Most of us think letting go is always projected to things or people around us, but we most of the time forget that completely letting go is freeing ourselves from pain or blame. It is not easy to do it but IT CAN BE DONE by ourselves and our Savior.
If He died on the cross to pay for our sins and sufferings, who are we not to acquit ourselves from mistakes?
I do agree on the idea that we need to forgive ourselves from time to time.
But me, personally, I would much rather beat myself up than forgive myself
At least I feel "better" via yelling at myself than telling myself lies to make myself forgive me.
Can't help but love ya!
It is different from one person to another. If doing such helps you, then it should be therapeutic. But you may also consider controlling your emotions at times.
I agree that self forgiveness is a good thing but how when it just feels so insurmountable? There is stuff that I allowed to happen and stuff I still allow to happen that generates feelings of anger, rage, hate and disgust within myself and towards others. How to I forgive myself for these feelings and get past them?
identify why it is that you allow it to keep happening. that way you can either avoide it, or recognize it before it causes you to react in anger. try to take it easy on yourself. your human, your not perfect, you'll make mistakes. it's perfectly okay. the trick is to learn from them. wish you the best
When something has happened that you had control over all you can do is try not to repeat it. If you allow something to repeat, within your control, then you need to look at it in more detail. You are not learning if it repeats. Your feelings will continue to be negative if the situation repeats. If you were to "foregive yourself" then it would seem that you are OK with the repeated wrong events.
This video helped me out. I have so much guilt built up inside of me. Self forgivess seems to be out of the option. or was until this video. now Im going to start working on myself forgiveness
Great video...my problem is I'm dwelling on a mistake I made out of letting my emotions get the best of me. I accept it, regret it, and learned not to repeat that again. However, the person I hurt does not forgive me, nor believes anything I say when apologizing. It really puts me down as a person and doesn't allow me to move forward. Any advice?
very helpful
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on self forgiveness. ;-)
it's help me. thank you
This is really true and I think realizing why you did/said something helps. Knowing you are someone completely different is good. It has helped me move on and help grow. I forgave myself and it had been holding down and back from where I could be. Thank you that is so inspiring to think like that :)
The video really helped me start to pin point where my self deprecation comes from. I feel like I let people define me too much. Sometimes its not that I don't love myself, but that the things I love about myself are not always accepted by other people.
I never used to be self consciousabout my weight until someone called me fat. I had never thought that about myself. I actually loved my body before someone spoke out against it.How do you overcome the labels that people place on you? No matter how true or untrue, people's words hurt. Is there a way to love yourself beyond another persons hatred?
You've got to love yourself, be proud and comfortable in your skin. You're always going to have haters. But that's just a product of their own unhappiness and insecurities. They try to attack those they see as vulnerable. Try to ignore them. It's easier to do if you're confident in yourself. Don't let others define you, because you know who you truly are. Best of luck.
