C5 Session 36 - Forgiving Myself

Key Questions

WHO is in control of your thoughts & behaviors? 

WHAT is something you can tell yourself when you begin to feel regret? 

WHERE is your emotional state when you start to remember unwanted past behaviors? 

WHY is it important for you to identify what influences your behaviors and decisions?

WHEN others remind you of your hurt and put you in a negative place how can you love yourself even more?

HOW can you benefit from forgiving someone else? So what about yourself?

What is Regret?

1. Taking information you have now that you didn't have before and blaming yourself.

2. A feeling of distress over something you did or didn't do because you were unaware of the outcome.

3. Unhealthy negative feelings about something you cannot change.

Evidence of self-forgiveness

• Moving from self-abuse to self-care

Self-Reflection Points

• You can't turn back time but "When you know better you can do better." This requires action on your part.

• Regret can become an unhealthy cycle of negative thoughts. Use your mind wisely. Focus on the things you have the power to change. 

• People, places, and things, good or bad cannot change, improve, or control your actions. You can only permit them to influence your emotions. Knowing that, if you are not in a healthy state of mind it will in turn cause an emotional reaction causing you to have behaviors and decision-making based on misplaced or influenced emotions usually not well thought out and sometimes not to your benefit. 

•  Always be mindful of your environment that is promoting you moving forward, your progress, and your V.E.S.P.M. Plan.

• To forgive someone else will benefit you so to forgive yourself will benefit others. 

• Showing a true expression of love and forgiveness to yourself will benefit everyone around you. Positive vibes are contagious. 

• Understand that you are not in control of the world or the things in it.  Just you, your beliefs, and your reactions. 

• Choose to love yourself first. Others will tend to treat you how you treat yourself.

 Live life without regrets!

"If I had to do it all over again

I wouldn't change a thing because

as far as I knew

I did the right thing 

with the wisdom, knowledge, and resources,

I had at the time."

-A dear friend April Thompson
