283. How to Forgive Yourself: Five Tips to Let Go of Guilt, Shame and Past Regrets

You messed up, or at least you think you did. Maybe it was a job you quit in the heat of the moment, not finishing your education ten years ago or cheating on your spouse. We can perceive big or little things as crimes that need to be punished in perpetuity. Many of us can easily forgive others, but when it comes to forgiving ourselves, we’re not so generous. But learning to forgive ourselves is crucial to creating balanced, healthy relationships with others as well as leading a life of serenity and satisfaction. Forgiving yourself won’t change your past, but it will absolutely make your future brighter. Today I’m covering my top five tips for forgiving yourself and letting go of guilt, shame and past regrets.____________________________Full blog and show notes: https://abbymedcal.com/how-to-forgive-yourself-five-tips-to-let-go-of-guilt-shame-regret Grab my FREE RET tool: https://abbymedcalf.com/retGrab my FREE Mindfulness Starter Kit: https://abbymedcalf.com/product/mindfulness-starter-kit/____________________________Learn how to create and hold healthy, loving boundaries.
