Forgiving yourself

Post Reply New Topic

this may result in an endless loop.
What about imagining yourself not doing it again, and substituting something else. See what it feels like to do something else, in your mind, I mean.
As for forgiving yourself, the only technique that has worked at all for me on some really Awful things, is, pretend you are listening to some other person telling you they did these things. ( the ones you are having trouble with) Wouldn't you forgive them?
I struggle with this from time to time and have to "re-forgive" all over again. I probably will succeed at some point the bad stuff will be like a tiny old bit of dry ice that puffs out one last carbon dioxide 'puff', and disappears.

The only thing that I can do is to try not to do it again. Or decide that the reasons were not my own for regretting it to began with, such as faith, family expectations or social expectations. I that's the case I will reevaluate why I think it was wrong and may decide that I don't care about other expectation any how.
I know this may not be helpful but I just might.
