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