Doesnât it just feel damn good to forgive yourself? Drop the fear and reluctance; itâs time to let that shit go. Forgiving yourself doesnât mean youâre admitting defeat. It means youâre breaking free.
We pack on a ton of guilt as we hustle through life. Maybe you blame yourself for past screw-ups or how you've handled tough spots. Maybe youâve been your own worst enemy, piling on self-resentment. And maybe, just maybe, you resist forgiving yourself because it feels like you're admitting you were all kinds of wrong. But not forgiving yourself tends to drag you back into those toxic patterns and crappy situations.
Forgiving yourself means you can walk away from the crap that drags you down. It means you can cut ties with relationships that suck the life out of you. It means dodging the endless loop of pain and grief. Itâs about stopping the self-punishment over every real or imagined mistake.
Let go of holding your past errors like a sword over your head. You donât need to deny yourself happiness, love, or peace. Itâs way simpler to say, âI messed up. This isnât right for me. I donât like this. This is wrong.â Then, just forgive yourself.
Forgive yourself if youâve screwed up. Forgive yourself even if you think you havenât. Feel how freeing forgiveness is. Forgive yourself, and watch how it liberates you.
