Don't beat yourself up. Start your day on a lighter note
SOURCE
Ever been in a situation where you can’t seem to forgive yourself for a past mistake or forgive a friend for hurting you one way or the other? I’m sure some of you are nodding your heads in response to this question. This brings us to today’s topic I entitled ‘Let it go’
We have all made mistakes in our lives. Some of these mistakes were made consciously and some were made unconsciously. This is to say that some of these mistakes were not intentionally made whilst others were intended. These are due to some decisions that we make in our lives daily.
SOURCE
Mistakes are part of us. We make mistakes because we are humans and we are not perfect. Mistakes are to teach us lessons and to help us strategize in order to avoid a repetition of the same thing another time. Don’t beat yourself over the mistakes you make. I know some are out of our impatience and rush in life and we would want to punish ourselves for them but to what end? It rather dampens our spirit always and keeps hunting us. But if you learn to forgive yourself and you let go, it gets easier. What we should rather do than punishing ourselves is to sit down and reflect. List down things you could have done to prevent the mistake and see where you went wrong. When you do this, resolve within yourself that you are going to take this as a lesson. Forgive yourself, let it go and forge on.
SOURCE
If it’s possible, share your experience with a friend or a trusted person. It may help in the process of letting go. They may also have experiences which would help as well. But majority of the work would have to come from you. Until you make up your mind that you are ready to forgive yourself and let it go, you would continue being in the horror and regrets of your mistakes and trust me, you would be miserable for a long time and I’m sure you wouldn’t want to experience that.
Have it at the back of your mind that you are human and it’s inevitable to make mistakes and those mistakes are to serve as lessons. This is the remedy to use and letting go would be easy as ABCD and you would have your peace of mind.
