Weekly Affirmation - November 11, 2024

Forgive yourself. 

All of those mistakes you’ve made? Forgive yourself. Any regrets? Forgive yourself? Past bad behavior you’re ashamed of? Forgive yourself. 

Forgiving yourself is not saying that what you did was right; it’s saying that you’re a whole human being who made a mistake and deserves to move forward with a full life. You do not deserve to be held back and hemmed in by your mistakes and your shame. If you’re like most of the women I know, you’ve got a thing or two swirling around in your brain that bring you back into a shame spiral when you think about them. Start to forgive yourself. 

Start as small as you need to. Forgiving even a tiny mistake will lift weight off your shoulders and allow you to move on to more forgiveness.
