Do you hold on to hurts of the past?
Do you hold on to mistakes you have made?
Do you find yourself being too critical?
If you have answered yes to any of these questions, reflect on the following:
No one is perfect. No matter how hard we try to be, we will never measure up to the unreasonable demands we place on ourselves.
So isn't it about time you "dropped the rope?" Know that you did your best at the time, and forgive yourself for not doing better.
If there is someone in your life that you owe an amend to, why wait? Now, is the time to share how you feel. The more you wait to do that, the more your energy is consumed with regret. And it is hard to move on.
When I look back on my life, I see how the difficult moments were my greatest life lessons.
Exercise: Say this inwardly to yourself--to the higher energy that dwells within you:
"I am now ready to let go of what has been holding me back. I forgive those that have harmed me, intentionally or unintentially. And most importantly, I forgive myself."
