How to learn to forgive yourself: psychologists advise to give up self-flagellation – practice compassion

Forgiving others may not be easy, but the same can be said for your own actions.

Sometimes we are too hard on ourselves and self-critical.

Psychologists believe that self-forgiveness is important for any person.

Let's see what psychologists say about this.

How to Make the Process of Self-Forgiveness Easier

Here are some recommendations.

1. Confirm that you can forgive yourself by stopping thinking about what you did.
2. Make friends with yourself – step outside your comfort zone.
3. Talk through the facts – explain to yourself why it is important and possible to forgive yourself.
4. Set your own expectations - this will give you the opportunity to change your point of view.
5. Make amends - think about what really happened and how you feel about it.

It is also recommended to come up with a positive affirmation or mantra.
