Don’t know who needs to hear this but forgive yourself…. Forgive yourself for the mistakes you’ve made in the past, forgive yourself for the times you have lacked understanding, Forgive yourself for all the bad decisions you have made, forgive yourself for the times when you have hurted someone. Everyone makes mistakes and you made mistakes, you regretted them and now you are improving yourself. Every mistake made by you has always led to self improvement.
Release the need to replay a negative situation over and over again in your mind, do not remind yourself of what should have, or could have or would have been.
Let it go and move on.
Till date i’ve made many many mistakes, took so many bad decisions and i used to remember my mistakes so much and used to always think that i wish that i could not have done this or i wish this could turn into this, i wish i was not like this, or many times i used to question my worth because of this. We remain stuck because of again and again remembering the past mistakes and wishing things to be different but you cannot change the past. At a point in my life I was not even able to work just because of constantly overthinking my mistakes and bad decisions until I realised that I actually cannot change that, and all of this overthinking is leading me towards nothing but else it is making me do no work and I am just stuck in the circle of just wishing that the things could change. It took me a really long time but when i finally realised that i have to forgive myself for all the mistakes i have done and all of the mistakes that i’ve made in the past have always improved me. When I finally decided to let it go, and move on, I discovered my true self and actually started working on so many new things and got the confidence that, yes, I am capable of achieving everything I want and my past mistakes do not define me.
You cannot bring back the past and change things according to you. Everything happens for a reason and you are here just because of all the mistakes that you have made in the past that have led you to self improvement and self discovery.
Forgive yourself for each mistake, that’s okay maybe you were younger and everyone makes mistakes. We criticise ourselves so much because of our mistakes and that things do not let us move forward in our life just because we are constantly stuck by holding onto the guilt and shame for past mistakes.
Self-forgiveness is not about excusing our behaviour or pretending that our mistakes didn't happen. It's about accepting ourselves as imperfect beings and finding the strength to let go of the weight of our past. It is an act of self-love and self-empathy that allows us to reclaim our personal power and move beyond the limitations of our past actions.
Self-forgiveness is a transformative act that has the potential to free us from the shackles of our own self-criticism and self-doubt. It allows us to embrace our humanity, with all its flaws and imperfections, and to move forward with a renewed sense of purpose and self-compassion. When we forgive ourselves, we create space for healing, growth, and personal transformation.
You know what when you’ll finally let it go, and move on then you will realise that, yes everything happens for a reason and has led to a better me.
You made mistakes and you are not your mistakes. Don’t be hard on yourselves.
In case no one has told you today, you are worthy, you are capable of achieving everything you desire for. You got this .
