Some critical concepts ahead – go slowly,
read carefully and take them to heart.
If you make a mistake, or a dozen
mistakes in life, remember this –
“You have made a mistake.
You are not a mistake.”
Dr. Maxwell Maltz
Everyone – EVERYONE stumbles and falls
occasionally. And the secret to
overcoming is to stand up, brush yourself off and move own down the road.
I’ve used this quote before:
“Just because you made a mistake
doesn't mean you are a failure.”
How about “Five Practical Steps of Self
forgiveness
1.
Acknowledge and
understand your feelings of guilt. Face up to them. Don’t deny them. Sit down and try to have an honest
straight-forward dialogue with yourself
2.
Determine to clean the
slate, to put the situation attached to the guilt behind you as best you
can. Commit to a brief time period, day,
week, monthly, during which you will take all of the corrective actions you
can, then you will free yourself from it once and for all.
3.
Take corrective action. Apologize, make amends, repay,
4.
Give yourself a kind eye
treatment. See yourself as the good
descent person you are who made a mistake.
5. Strengthen your commitment to meaningful goals and focus on
their achievement.
