Forgive Yourself For How You Chose To Survive Forgive yourself for how you chose to survive. Forgive yourself for the desires you judged harshly. Forgive yourself for indulging in things that took up your time but didn't fulfill you. Forgive yourself for declaring yourself as someone you’re not. Forgive yourself for your chosen avenues of negative expressions. Forgive yourself for all the times you didn’t add value to others. Forgive yourself for what you discovered about yourself that you didn’t like. Forgive yourself for whatever ugliness you saw in yourself. Forgive yourself for not correcting what you think you should have. Forgive yourself for the parts you couldn’t respect. Forgive yourself for all these judgments. Forgive yourself for not being able to forgive yourself before. — Emily Maroutian #forgivingYourself #emilyMaroutian #zenwords https://www.instagram.com/p/CqLL5a8uFj8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

How to forgive yourself.

CAN'T FORGIVE YOURSELF? TRY THIS When you're having trouble forgiving yourself for a mistake, one of the ways that you can begin to find forgiveness is by asking yourself, If someone that I love made the same mistake as I did, could I forgive them? Chances are you could, and quite easily. If you can forgive them, that is a clear indication that the mistake isn't the issue, it's how you're treating yourself that is the problem. Give yourself the same level of understanding and compassion as you're giving to others. If you still can't forgive yourself, find a story about someone else who made a 'bigger' mistake than you. If they found a way to forgive themselves, then you can too. — S. G.

When you Feel Like a Failure 1. It’s important to remember that you’re not alone. There are SO MANY OTHERS who feel the same way, too. 2. Remember it’s a pattern and you often feel this way. You know your inner critic always seeks to bring you down! 3. Remind yourself you’re trying to make progress and to change. Your heart’s in the right place – so be patient with yourself. 4. Forgive yourself for failing or for saying something stupid. Cut yourself some slack, let it go, and start again. 5. Try to spend time with people who accept you as you are, and who sees your strengths and good points, your potential, and your worth. 6. Don’t think about your failures. They are firmly in the past. Visualise yourself being someone that you’re proud of, and you like. 7. Be kind, understanding and gentle with yourself. You’ll find you’ll feel much better if you don’t demand so much. — Online Counselling College #feelingLikeAFailure #innerCritic #bePatient #forgivingYourself #kindness #compassion https://www.instagram.com/p/CePQdZFuC1M/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

There is a fine balance between honoring the past and losing yourself in it. For example, you can acknowledge and learn from mistakes you made, and then move on and refocus on the now. It is called forgiving yourself. — Eckhart Tolle #forgivingYourself #makingMistakes #eckhartTolle https://www.instagram.com/p/CeyhbyQuIz2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
