Hey loves, Welcome back to heal your lonely heart, positive
mindset boost. I'm your girl, Nova Lane, and today we're
diving deep into something super powerful, healing from past hurt
through self forgiveness. Ever feel like you're carrying around a
backpack full of old wounds? You know that feeling when
a little thing triggers a cascade of memories and emotions
from way back when. Yeah, been there, done that, got
(00:23):
the T shirt. Trust me, I'm not a stranger to baggage.
But here's the thing. Friends, Holding onto those hurts, replaying
them in our minds, it's like living on repeat, stuck
in a never ending loop of sadness and resentment. It
keeps us from truly moving forward and experiencing joy in
the present moment. So today we're breaking free from that
(00:43):
cycle and embracing the beautiful power of self forgiveness. Let's
get real for a second. Forgiveness isn't about condoning the
actions that hurt you. It's not saying what happened was
okay or minimizing your pain. It's about taking ownership of
your healing journey and releasing the grip those past hurts
have on your heart. And mind. Think of it like this.
Imagine carrying a heavy rock around with you everywhere you go.
(01:05):
That rock is the weight of unforgiveness, dragging you down,
making it hard to move forward. Self forgiveness is like
putting that rock down, releasing its burden, and finally being
able to step freely into your own power. Here are
five key takeaways to help you on this journey. One,
acknowledge your pain. First things First, you gotta name it
to tame it. Don't shy away from your emotions, even
(01:27):
the uncomfortable ones. Allow yourself to feel the pain, sadness, anger,
whatever comes up. It's okay to grieve the hurt you've experienced.
Bottling it up only prolongs the healing process. Remember, acknowledging
your pain is the first step towards letting go. Two.
Practice self compassion. You wouldn't berate a dear friend for
their mistakes, would you? So why do we treat ourselves
(01:49):
so harshly when we make missteps? We all mess up.
It's part of being human. Practice kindness and understanding towards yourself,
just as you would with someone you love. Remember those
times you've stumbled and gotten back up stronger you deserve
that same compassion now. Three identify limiting beliefs. Often past
hurts create limiting beliefs about ourselves in the world around us.

everyone will eventually hurt you. Challenge those thoughts. Are they
truly serving you? Replace them with positive affirmations and empowering
beliefs that support your growth and well being. Four Focus
on what you can control. We can't change the past,
but we can choose how we respond it. Shift your
energy towards what you can control, your thoughts, your actions,
(02:34):
your reactions. Choose to see the situation from a different perspective,
focusing on the lessons learned in the opportunities for growth. Five.
Forgive yourself first. This is often the hardest step, but
also the most crucial. Holding on to anger and resentment
only hurts yourself in the long run. Forgive yourself for
any mistakes you've made, for any hurt you may have caused,
(02:55):
and for simply being human. Remember you're worthy of love
and forgiveness, starting with yourself. Speaking of real world examples,
think about a time when you held on to a
grudge against someone, maybe a friend or family member who
hurt your feelings? How did that make you feel? Chances
are it left you feeling bitter, angry, and stuck in
the past. But what if you had chosen to forgive them,
(03:18):
not for their sake, but for yours. Imagine releasing that anger,
letting go of the resentment, and finally feeling free. That's
the magic of self forgiveness. It doesn't mean forgetting what
happened or condoning the actions. It means choosing to move
forward with peace in your heart, allowing yourself to heal
and grow. Remember, love's forgiveness is a gift you give yourself.
