Hey there, folks. Del N Brooks here your friendly neighborhood
guide to navigating this crazy thing called life. And today
we're diving into something that can feel pretty darnuf forgiving yourself.
Ever been stuck in a loop of replaying past mistakes,
beating yourself up for decisions you wish you could take back.
Yet I know that feeling all too well. It's like

(00:21):
carrying around this heavy backdock of guilt and regret, weighing
you down with every step. But here's the thing. Holding
on to anger and resentment towards ourselves doesn't actually change anything.
It just keeps us stuck in the past, rubbing us
of joy and peace in the present. Though, how do
we break free from the self imposed prison? How do
we cultivate that elusive sense of forgiveness and understanding towards ourselves? Well,

the context behind your actions. Back when you made that mistake,
what were you dealing with? What were your motivations? Were
you stress, overwhelmed, or simply lacking information. By stepping into
those shoes and seeing things from a place of compassion,
you can sought to release the judgment and guilt. Now,
let's talk about taking responsibility. Owning up to our mistakes

(01:50):
is crucial for growth. It doesn't mean dwelling on them forever,
but acknowledging what happened, understanding why it occurred, and committed
to doing better next time. Think of it like that. Yes,
you wouldn't expect someone else to sweep their mess under
the rug, would you? Same goes for your own actions.
Speaking of moving forward, actively engage in self care. This

(02:11):
isn't about bubble baths and face masks, So those are great.
I'm talking about nourishing your mind, body, and soul. Read
a good book, spend time in nature, connect with loved ones,
pursue hobbes that bring you joy. When you prioritize your
well being, you create space for forgiveness and self compassion
to flourish. Finally, remember it at Forgiveness is a journey,

(02:32):
not a destination. There will be days when you feel
like giving up, days when those all tapes replay in
your head, But don't beat yourself up about it. Just
gently redirect your focus back to the present moment, acknowledge
your feelings without judgment, and keep practicing Pike Toure this.
You are at a networking event, trying to make connections,
but feeling incredibly self conscious because you spilled coffee on

(02:54):
yourself elav that morning. That stain is screaming I'm awkward
and clumsy. But here's the thing. This around you probably
barely noticed. Even if they did, they likely to preoccupy
with their own anxieties to judge you harshly. Instead of
letting that one slip up to rail your confidence, take
a deep breath, remind yourself that everyone makes mistakes and

(03:14):
focus on connecting with people authentically see self. Forgiveness isn't
about condoning bad behavior. It's about acknowledging our humanity, learning
from our experiences, and moving forward with compassion for ourselves.

and understanding, even when we stumble. So what are you
