Self-forgiveness

Self forgiveness

We use up ALOT of energy holding down our grudges against self and other…

And in the cancel culture we live in, it’s easy to become hypercritical of others and ourselves.

But news flash: All human are fallible- yes even the hero’s and the gurus. And holding them, or yourself to an unrealistic standard of perfection hurts them, and you. No one is perfect- especially those that appear it.

Where there is judgement, there can be no healing… and without healing there can be no tenderness … No openness… no joy... no learning.
Where are you judging yourself?
Where are you harsh to yourself?
Where are you narrow and one sided about yourself or another?
What parts of yourself have you shunned and exiled? What parts do you need to re-member, re-collect, re-integrate through cultivating a loving and compassionate heart.

I know you are worried that you don’t deserve forgiveness bc that might mean you are letting yourself off the hook, or you are worried that you will do something wrong again.
I know you believe that punishing yourself is the only way you will act in accordance to your values.

Don’t worry, it’s not… trust yourself and know that when you forgive yourself and show up for yourself with love and compassion, curiosity and understanding that you will learn what you needed to learn from that experience …

Self love begins with self-forgiveness and self understanding…
