What Really Matters: Everyday Spirituality

Ep. 179 How do I forgive myself?


Listen Later

In order to grow spiritually forgiveness is one of the most important tasks we need to accomplish. And forgiving ourselves is a necessary step before we can fully forgive others. In a companion Soulcode Post I've written about why self-forgiveness is so hard to do. In this episode I share some practical steps to actually move through letting go of self-blame and guilt. This episode includes:

  • Why self-compassion is needed before we start this work
  • Taking an honest look at our past actions that may have done harm
  • How to separate guilt from shame
  • The need to repair what can be repaired
  • Allowing our past mistakes to become our teachers
  • Creating a ritual for self-forgiveness
