Tell yourself: I am worthy of my ability to forgive myself. Day 17 of the Self Confidence Challenge
Greetings!
The sun is shining and the birdies are mooing and the cows are tweeting and how are things today?
Hope grand!
Yesterday, I discussed the fact you’re worthy of your ability to accept goodness within you.
Today, I want to delve into a possibly painful fact of life as well…
And it’s this.
You must give yourself permission to forgive yourself for the past.
Why is this so important?
Well, mainly because… the plain fact is, you cannot *change* the past.
Whatever damage… it’s been done.
Its over with.
However!
However, you *can* change the future…. for it has yet to be written.
*That is up to you*
To wit:
Yes, I was channeling my 1970s Inner Child, why do you ask?  🙂
But yep… it really CAN be hugely painful to revisit your past mistakes…
… Revisit… and actually give yourself permission to forgive yourself.
But its definitely possible (and hugely healthy to boot).
How do you best do this?
‘Tis simple (simple in concept but requires courage to do).
Internalize that no matter how…. dippy… your actions might have been…
… the knowledge you gained from them …
Well, that’s precious stuff…. stuff you’d never learn if you hadn’t messed up so spectacularly.
So treasure that wisdom.
You’ve earned it.
Woot!
