Very thought provoking. It can be difficult to truly reflect on your inner feelings, but it is necessary, I think, to be emotionally healthy.
It is never as easy as it sounds to do so, but we are all imperfect and we will all make mistakes we are all human and we need to cut ourselves slack sometimes.
Jeanette, Yes,To forgive someone who has hurt you is a hard pill to swallow. But you must first try to forgive yourself to move on and heal only then we can forgive others.
These are great points. You really do have to learn from mistakes instead of beating yourself up over them. That’s not healthy!
Forgiveness is not easy to give to people, but when you finally do it also feels like you’re setting yourself free from the burden of hate. Apologies aren’t easy to give as well, but you have to learn how to do it.

So true I have a lot of things that I am not proud of but dwelling on it is not going to help me move forward. So I laugh and smile because I would rather enjoy life than be sad.
Ana De-Jesus, What a wonderful concept why dwell on things we cannot change. Moving forward require us to let go of the hurt, people, pain that hold us down and sometime our sense of humor is our only lifesaver.
This is one of the hardest lessons in life. Why is it easier to forgive others than ourselves?!
Rachel, It’s a question that is difficult to answer. Can only say we tend to be harder on ourselves maybe this is why. Once we get passed our harsh judgment of ourselves forgiven becomes easier.
forgive yourself for not knowing what you didn’t knew before you learned it.
Sometimes, we’re just too hard on ourselves when we make mistakes, but it’s always from those failures that we learn in life. They will make us stronger and better persons.
I think I’ve definitely gotten better and moving on and not beating myself up too much over things. I’ve been a perfectionist my whole life, so it’s hard not to blame myself.

This is a lesson that I learned sometime ago and have never forgotten it.
I get too hard on myself when I make mistakes. It’s maybe because I knew I would have done better.

Everyone makes mistakes, it’s part of being human. None of us would ever learn anything if we didn’t make mistakes.
Learn our lesson in every mistake that we’ve been done. Saying Sorry won’t harm us it makes us better. When we start to forgive our self this is also the right time to forgive others.
Great post. There are many things I regret, but now I know so I can do better going forward. I refuse to make the same mistakes over and over. 🙂

It’s best to just move on with things. No reason to hold on to negative feelings.

Mimi “MimiCuteLips” Green, It’s a habit to beat our self up at times its a journey for me too.
Forgiving yourself is so key. I think that is the real issue that many people face because we hold ourselves to a higher standard. Great insights.
We are our own worst critics, and we tend to beat ourselves up over and over again. Forgiving ourselves is just as important as forgiving others. But it will allow the healing process to begin once we do.
Christine, When we can forgive ourselves forgive others come easy thanks for stopping by.
We tend to be our own worst enemy and ally. I’ve learn to cry a little then get over it and move forward.
