According to writer Gini Grey, blaming yourself for the mistakes that you committed doesn't help and only causes more pain. You have to free yourself from the pain and its haunting memory by forgiving yourself. You have to forgive yourself so that you'll be free from the pain and guilt and move on.
Below are ways on how to forgive yourself:
ACCEPTANCE.
We have to accept within ourselves that we are not perfect and therefore destined to screw up every now and then. Accepting responsibility is taking the naked look at ourselves, seeing the good, the bad and the ugly. Making mistakes today help us make better decisions tomorrow.
LEARN from the mistakes.
We must learn from the incident and we must not repeat it. We must not allow making mistakes to condemn us. Not forgiving yourself is like condemning an innocent man.
COMPASSION.
To heal yourself with forgiveness, it's important to have compassion.
UNDERSTANDING.
In order to forgive yourself for past mistakes, it helps to understand why things happened. Sometimes mistakes happened for the sole purpose of learning and growth.
