Step 3: Self-Forgive One Offense at a Time

Pick one of the offenses you listed in Step 2, write a brief description of each using the steps below:

1. R= Recall the hurt (summary)
2. E= Empathize (from a sympathetic point of view, describe the responses of victims of your offense)
3. A= Altruistic gift (write a reason why you might want to unselfishly grant self-forgiveness.)
4. C= Commit to any self-forgiveness you experienced (write your intention to try someday, or soon, or when, to forgive)
5. H= Hold on to forgiveness (write how hard you think it would be to make self-forgiveness last)
