Facing shame and guilt stops meaning people from making the next step in their self-love journey. We care a lot about how others perceive us and not wanting to admit our mistakes does not cover shame, but it increases it. Having something to hide about ourselves makes us operate in fear and fear is the opposite of love. When we are able to accept that we are human and we make mistakes, we can then move on from them and improve ourselves. We can use the things that have caused us to feel this shame and use them as learning tools to help us navigate our lives in the future. Let's discuss healthy ways to use shame and free ourselves from guilt.
