Forgive Yourself

A key aspect to being a more positive person is to forgive yourself of all the things you regret. You may regret eating that cheesecake last night, or for spending money you didn’t have on something you wanted. You have to remember it’s over and done with. You need to move on and give yourself a little slack. Negative feelings about yourself are derived from the fact that you have not forgiving yourself or who you are. You are only human and humans make mistakes all the time. I know it's common to hear this, but it’s true that we learn from our mistakes. Our mistakes help make us who we are. Are you going to hate who you are? You shouldn’t. Therefore you should forgive yourself for those mistakes that helped shape you. Another important thing is that it’s harder to forgive others when you won’t forgive yourself. You need to be able to let things go. Once you forgive yourself you feel better, and you won’t let others keep you down either. You will stop ruminating on your regrets as well as on what people have done to you. You will live a much more peaceful life, and be happier.
