6 Things You Should Forgive Once and for All

Often, the mistakes of the past haunt us and do not give us peace, keeping us in a state of perpetual suffering. "I could have done differently!", "Why didn't I think?", "How I wish I could go back in time!" - such thoughts haunt us during the day and wake us up in the middle of the night.

Guilt is the cruelest demon, which can turn the wonderful moments of life into hell, no matter how much we are loved and how many gifts we receive from destiny.

That is why, for the good of us and our loved ones, we must learn to forgive ourselves once and for all and free our souls from the snare of suffering.

We must not forget that all the things we once thought were wrong are the best we could have done at that time, with the mind and heart of that time. Forgiveness has the power to free you from a world of pain, fear, darkness, and despair.

When you forgive yourself, you make a healing journey from self-hatred to self-love. And go from absolute darkness to the power of becoming the light of your own life.

Here are the 6 things to start practicing self-forgiveness with!

Forgive me for not accepting yourself completely

No sense in telling you now - I don't wanna ruin the surprise. You don't have to blame yourself for not knowing how to love and accept yourself, because no one has taught you to do that.

It was a dark and painful time, no doubt. But the time has come to leave them behind. The time has come to release pain, to give up fighting, to blame and painful memories, and to find inner peace.

Forgive yourself for always looking for the approval of the wrong people

We do what we are taught to do by our parents, by our friends, by the significant people around us. And we have all learned to seek approval in the outside world, instead of looking into our souls. How can you blame yourself for looking for love and appreciation in the wrong places when you have been taught to do so?

How can you be upset because you didn't realize that the main love you need to receive is self-love? It's not your fault and it's not someone else's fault. That was the way it was at that moment when emotions and understanding were not yet mature.

But now it's time to get rid of all those lies and illusions. It's time to forgive because you thought you needed the love and approval of others to feel whole, validated, dignified. Only now do you understand that the only approval you need is in you, and those who love you can confirm this?

Forgive yourself for thinking that what you can do is not good enough

At every moment, someone reminds us that what we are or what we do is not enough - we are not beautiful enough, smart, educated, loved and so on … There always seems to be more to do and more to do. much to gain to become whole.

We are told lie after lie, and in our innocence and naivete, we believe in each of these lies. But you don't have to keep believing these lies. No need to fill your heart with sadness. Look inside yourself and achieve your perfection. Then forgive yourself for thinking: I am not enough.

Forgive yourself for your past mistakes

Being human means making mistakes and failing. But if you learn from your mistakes, they can no longer be called mistakes, but rather valuable life lessons. Forgive yourself for your past mistakes, because you didn't know or couldn't do things better. And forgive the world because it is so harsh on you sometimes.

Free yourself from all weight, guilt, anger, and resentment, and allow forgiveness to turn all your wounds into wisdom and all your pain into joy.

Forgive yourself for all the criticism you have made and for the way you have judged yourself and judged others

In those dark times, when we feel lost, unworthy, unloved, and unhappy, we tend to judge everything harshly, ourselves and our lives, those around us, finding mistakes and seeing what is worse.

When we are at war with ourselves, we are at war with the whole world. But you don't have to stay in the war. Through forgiveness, you can heal the parts of you that once felt hurt. And you can go from judging - the world and yourself - to truly loving.

Forgive yourself for temporarily giving up your hopes, dreams, and goals

When things don't go as planned, when the pain weighs so heavily that you can't bear to live another day, when the world seems to turn against you, you simply give up everything.

Give up on yourself. Give up your dreams. Give up your health. You collapse, it hurts and you don't want to go back or to continue on the same path that brought you so much pain.

But you have to do it, after all, because your dreams call you, and life demands to be lived. Resisting this tension will only cause you even more pain. Forgive yourself for thinking that you can give up your hopes and dreams. And dare to rebuild your life and make it amazing.
