Today’s Mandala
Forgive
“The more you know yourself,
— Confucius
the more you forgive yourself.”
“The burden of regret
— James Van Praagh
can weigh us down heavily
on our spiritual journey.
The best way to release regret
is to forgive ourselves.”
“There are only 2 two ways
— Elizabeth Gilbert
to have a peaceful conscience:
Never do anything wrong
or learn self-forgiveness
(Pro tip: first way’s impossible)”
Today’s MotD encourages us to practice the art of self forgiveness. “Being able to forgive [ourselves] requires empathy, compassion, kindness, and understanding” “The process of forgiving [ourselves] forces [us] to face the reality of how [we] treat [ourselves].” Beating ourselves up for being human holds us back from experiencing our true potential. As long as we continuing to put ourselves down we will forever stay down. Time to pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and start all over again.
From BannerHealth.com, 5 Tips for Forgiving Ourselves:
- Accept that the past is the past – it can not be changed
- Speak the truth
- Recognize our unrealistic expectations for ourselves
- Put things into perspective
- If at first we don’t succeed, try, try, again
From VeryWellMind.com
We are all worthy of self-forgiveness.
