The Transformational Coach - Thoughts from my Sofa

Episode 55 - Forgiveness


Listen Later

Hands up if you find it easy to forgive and then never think about the incident again!

Anybody?  Nope?  No, me neither!  Forgiveness is hard.  Forgiving ourselves is probably harder than forgiving other people.  It's not impossible though.

To move forward towards our goals and desires takes work.  Along the way, we are likely to make mistakes and end up having to try again a few times until we get things right.  That's life in general!  We get knocked down and when we get back up again, we try a different way to get to the goal.  It doesn't mean that we brush off the negative experience and never think about it again.  We try to learn from our mistakes but sometimes, we are our own worst critic and we forget to forgive ourselves.

  • What are you still holding onto/. What have you not yet forgiven?
  • What are the impacts to you of not letting go of these issues?
  • How do you benefit by hanging on to these issues?  What do you get to stay feeling?
  • If you were to let go of _____, you would feel _____
  • Remember, we're aiming for progress, not perfection and forgiveness takes work!  You can do it though.  You've done it with many of the other topics we've discussed so why doubt yourself now?

    Thank you to all of you who listen and who have purchased my book or a notebook (www.rhonabarton.co.uk/publications).  I appreciate each and every one of you!

    Until next week, stay safe,

    Rhona
