Forgiveness has often been associated with forgiving someone else for wronging us. However, we are not thinking about forgiving ourselves for a mistake or an error. Most of the time people carry their own mistakes with them and remind themselves of the mistakes internally. This habit is destructive because the inner voice we all have is quite powerful in the way it shapes our thoughts and our behaviour. Go through the slide to know how self-forgiveness can be so powerful.

1. How Self-Forgiveness Can Be
So Powerful

2. When we think
of forgiveness, we’re
often thinking of
forgiving someone else
for wronging us.

3. But we’re not thinking
about forgiving
ourselves for
a mistake or an error.

4. We often carry our
own mistakes with us
and remind ourselves
of them internally.

5. This behavior can be
destructive, as
the inner voice we all
have is quite powerful
in the way it shapes
our thoughts and our
behavior.

6. It is important to
learn how to forgive
yourself as it allows
you to put your best
foot forward and to
move past your
previous mistakes

7. Most People
Carry Their
Mistakes
Indefinitely

8. When you continue to
carry your mistakes
with you, then its
weight drags you
down and make it
almost impossible to
move forward.

9. It is akin to wearing
ankle weights and a
weighted vest while
trying to compete in a
track meet.

10. Holding on to your
mistakes isn’t going to
help you, all it is going
to do is keep you
living in the past.

11. Learning To
Forgive
Yourself Isn’t
Always Easy

12. It is important to
recognize that self-
forgiveness is not easy
and it will not happen
overnight.

13. This is a long process,
where you are going to
have your ups and
downs. You must remain
committed to improving
your outlook over time.

14. Forgive But
Learn The
Right Lessons

15. Although it is critical
that you learn how to
forgive yourself, you
also have to learn
the right lessons.

16. If you made a
mistake, you want to
make sure that you
learn why and how it
was made.

17. After you’ve figured that
out, you can stop
blaming yourself and
move on with a clear
conscious.

18. Self-forgiveness can be
very powerful when it is
applied correctly. You
must learn how to
forgive yourself while
not forgetting the
lesson.

19. This isn’t an easy
process, and it can take
months or even years to
learn how to properly
forgive yourself for past
mistakes and move on.

20. But once you have
the ability to forgive,
it is like having a
weight lifted off your
shoulders.

21. You can finally put your
full effort into new tasks
and projects without
thinking back on your
past mistakes.

22. This sense of clarity and
purpose can help you to
focus on what is
important, instead of
living in the past.
