Forgive Yourself

Not forgiving yourself is like that annoying fly that won’t leave you alone at the summer BBQ. You swat at it and start to enjoy yourself and then it keeps coming back until you get the fly swatter and take care of it. This week I want you to WRITE down all the things you beat yourself up about. Writing them down gives them less power over you. Then make the decision to give yourself some grace and forgive. This will not be easy and it won’t happen overnight. Each time those feelings pop up, tell yourself: I am only human and I did the best I could with what I was going through at the time. I have learned what not to do and will strive each day to be better.
