Recognizing uncomfortable thoughts and feelings can sometimes be an eyesore. Letting go of feelings associated with bad actions can be difficult, why is it so hard to forgive yourself? I often hear that forgiving someone is hard and forgiving yourself is even harder. For me, I find it easy to forgive people, but it is difficult to forgive myself. These thoughts can be overwhelming, and I am writing to eliminate these terrible feelings by listing the things I will forgive myself for:
I am forgiving myself for my past.
I am forgiving myself for opportunities I didn’t embrace, for taking time for where I need to be
I forgiving myself for being sad over things I have no control over
I am forgiving myself for my lost dreams and hopes
I am forgiving myself for my laziness
I am forgiving myself for self doubts, for times I have told myself , I am not enough, for times I have lost confidence in doing things.
I am forgiving myself for people I have judged
I am forgiving myself for allowing fear get the best part of me
I am forgiving myself for ignorance
I am forgiving myself every unhealthy choices I have made, for every mistake I created.
I am forgiving myself ahead for the things that will come.
I am reflecting, breathing deep and allowing myself embrace self forgiveness.
I believe forgiveness is a process , and it’s life changing. Hopefully it will help me to where I need to be within myself.

I would like to hear from you. Please share in the comment section🤗🙏
Such a thoughtful write up… I personally look forward to your write ups…
I tend to forgive myself quickly with my slogan “ it’s not a big deal, that is fine & it’s Okay” 😊… but I find it difficult to forgive others. Since I heard a preacher explaining Forgiveness as doing oneself a favour… I’m learning to forgive others… (I’m a work in progress@ forgiving others) so help me God 🙈🙏🏾
