DISQUS

Julia Rogers Hamrick · 10 months ago

I will forgive myself for not always practicing what I preach; for so often not being trusting of my energy and for not being kind, compassionate and loving to myself.

I forgive myself for not always knowing what to do, for being fearful and not having faith BUT I hope that every time I do this, I learn not to do it just a little bit more.

Perfect question for me today- I am quite sick right now and I forgive myself for thinking I was invincible and could work through anything AND iI forgive myself for cancelling all appointments today and going to bed!

Carrie · 10 months ago

May you feel better Pearl.

This is the perfect question for me to read at this moment - I love it when that happens. Right now I need to forgive myself for allowing myself to melt down. I try to keep focused on the positive, but sometimes keeping faith in something gets too much, and today was that day. I forgive myself for dissolving into tears, and for momentarily questioning my path.

Carrie, I go through the samething, I always make myself believe that I don't know enouch, I don't have enough, I am not ready enough. I forgive myself today for believing in the false reality.I am a creative being and I have everything that I need to create a successul life!Thank you for sharing it!

Carrie · 10 months ago

yes, we are enough, we are worthy!!

I will forgive myself for letting my sleeping and eating slip, and by forgiving myself for it, I will be able to better take care of myself rather than beat myself up about it.

I must forgive myself for not listening to my inner voice. I believe we are trusting beings by nature and we don't always know when someone is lying to us, especially when they are close to us. I have trusted and been hurt many times.

i'm going to forgive myself for making little mistakes like not doing spellcheck when i send out important emails. and for big stuff like not having as much faith as i should in my own talents.

Mary Devine · 10 months ago

I will forgive myself for not getting as many resumes sent out as I would like too. I am sick and I am tired, so I need to take it a bit easy.

Carrie · 10 months ago

rest and rejuvenate Mary. Be well!

I forgive myself for not being genuinely interested in the corporate job I have, especially in this economy. The job is a means to the way, and I just need to keep my focus on the exciting horizon I am creating in the background.

I rolled my eyes when I received this question in my email -- I have a block when it comes to forgiveness, I guess. I didn't want to go there.
Then, while in the shower, I started thinking about something that went terribly awry last year, with a lot of disappointment for all sides. There. This is what I needed to forgive myself for.
I took a moment under the steaming water to breathe and let go of this. There. I did what I could, now it's done, and I won't keep on beating myself up. I forgive myself.

Jessica · 10 months ago

Fabulous. I'm so happy. I actually have a bit of block when it comes to self-forgiveness too. But then I think...why don't I treat myself the way I treat those I love?

...Showers are always the best time to realize big things. ;)

Great work there!!!! Hot water opens you heart like mussels open with steam!!!

Cobby · 10 months ago

Today, I will forgive myself for being selfish. I will forgive myself for wanting someone to care only about what's good for me. I will forgive myself for being jealous of the people around me who I feel have angels looking out fo rthem within our organization. I will forgive myself for being angry at the people who seem to be watching out for everyone but me.

I'll forgive myself for getting less than three hours of sleep the night before auditioning for the Vagina Monologues (that was yesterday). Not my strongest show, for sure, but I did talk to the organizer about leading a teach-in and discussion for my school about situation for women in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Jess · 10 months ago

I will forgive myself for not being 100% confident every day in everything - I don't need to be "on" all the time.
I will forgive myself for not getting super excited about this new job I have because I'm waiting till I graduate.
I will forgive myself for not feeling like I need to be "nice" all the time - you know what I mean? Forcing smiles, small talk, etc.

Connie · 10 months ago

I'll forgive myself for being too emotional and too impulsive.

Eleni · 10 months ago

I will forgive myself for not sticking to my guns when I should have and defend myself and my work. I have learned my lesson and now it is time to move on. I will forgive myself for being reluctant to the friendly approach of people who have hurt me (deeply) in the past and now they want to be part of my present and future.

Today I managed to forgive myself for not being able to solve all the problems that landed in my office this week. I did what was in my power to do...let's see, there was a pay advance for an employee, paid for a tow truck when someone went off the road, set up meetings to advance projects....then re-scheduled because of winter storms, lent an ear when someone was "melting down" about life stresses, and hounded a tradesman that hasn't come through.... and somehow I wish I could do more (like better wages) to make things better for those that work for me.

linda Borland-Fitzgerald · 10 months ago

I forgive myself for feeling resentful when I have to prepare meals. I'm sick of it and don't want to do it anymore, but there's no choice. I want to do it with love, so the food will taste even better, but find myself just feeling angry about being forced into the kitchen..

Victoria Haines · 10 months ago

I like what Jessica had to say about wearing her heart on her sleeve. I have to learn to forgive myself for doing the same but I always choose to be open an honest and it always seems to cost me but I refuse to play games and pretend not to care or not to feel the things I do. I recently opened up to someone and told them how I really felt about them and it cost me the relationship but I couldn't have lived with the roller coaster ride I was on anyway.

black flight · 10 months ago

i will forgive myself for eating chocolate. each and every day that i choose to eat it.

by the way, where is danielle of carrie & danielle?

Lo_in_Cali · 10 months ago

For thinking about my ex with less than hateful thoughts. I can't hate him forever and just because I don't doesn't mean that he is going to find his way back into my life.
