Day 20 - Self-Forgiveness

When you judge yourself, you tend to believe that who you are is what you have done or not done. Today, hold onto the knowledge that who you are is greater than what you have done. Forgive yourself for forgetting the good that is in you.

Reflection
  • When we sit in judgment of other people, countries and races, we are training our minds to sit in judgment of ourselves.
  • What are some thoughts and feelings that get in the way of self-forgiveness?
  • How has not forgiving yourself kept you from moving forward?
Action
  • Write about a time when you forgave another person and how you can offer that same forgiveness to yourself.
  • Write down three nice things you can say to yourself and practice saying them throughout the day.
