Self-Acceptance

.

Once you accept, for better or worse, that you are who you are, the way you are, you will never again waste a minute of your time comparing yourself to another. And with all that free time on your hands you will be able to create the life you want, your way.

Pain

.

If you are feeling emotional pain, do not be afraid of it.  Feel what you feel with all the intensity you can handle because you are 'burning off, destroying, dissolving' the unconscious negative thoughts that are causing you to feel the emotional pain in the first place. Once the pain has passed you by, you will be much stronger than before.

The Freedom Forgiveness Brings (Article)

.

.

The trapped, anxious, depressed feelings people experience are, most often, a result of not forgiving themselves for past mistakes. The problem with not forgiving ourselves for past mistakes is that we remained trapped in a 'negative mindset' that limits our ability to set ourselves free to be the best person we can be. Lack of self-forgiveness shuts down our creative minds while forgiving ourselves opens them up so we can think our most inspired and creative thoughts.

What does it mean to forgive?

Forgive means to: 1. grant pardon for an offense ; to absolve; to set free from punishment. 2. to cease to feel resentment against yourself or others. When you forgive yourself you are set free to create what you want rather than tolerating and putting up with mistakes from your past.  The unwillingness to forgive yourself for your mistakes makes them  stick to you like SUPER GLUE. 

Here is a list of possible things you might need to forgive yourself for:

1. I forgive myself for being stupid.
2. I forgive myself for marrying the wrong person for me.
3. I forgive myself for never having enough money.
4. I forgive myself for hurting other people.
5. I forgive myself for not being as creative as I want to be.
6. I forgive myself for being too hard on myself.
