Bring your heart back to centre, with the forgiveness of You!

Hello and welcome back to the blog,

Of recent times I have been thinking about the Power of Forgiveness.

But more specifically – the Power to Forgive ones self.

It seems that we can be so quick to forgive those around us for various things, but then so very slow to forgive ourselves. Our failures seem to become magnified out of all proportion and we can suddenly descend into this cavernous, all encompassing grief, rejection and self  criticism.

So today – I just wanted to say – ” It is OK”!!!

That’s right.

You are only human.

We are only human.

And we all deserve to feel loved and accepted and honoured……..despite our failings and flaws.

You deserve to feel loved and accepted and honoured……..despite your failings and flaws. It is OK that you messed up again and did something you are not proud of.

It is OK that you were unable to reach that particular goal.

It is OK that you fell, when you had hoped to soar.

It is OK that you are not perfect.

None of us are – despite our perfect Facebook profiles and public images that are perfectly constructed and concocted to tell the story of that infallible person we are all aiming to be.

I am not perfect.

You are not perfect.

And that is OK.

The most important thing is to recognise where you faltered and to simply try and do better next time, when the situation presents itself again. Because you know it will come along again.

You will be stressed and at boiling point again……..

You will be irritated by someone again………

You will be tempted to do something rash and unthinking again……..

That is life.

That is the trick.

That is what it is about.

Picking yourself up – dusting yourself off –  and starting all over again.

With forgiveness and compassion for yourself.

With an open-ness to learning more about yourself.

With a non judgemental attitude towards yourself.

Nothing can heal the mind, body and soul more than self forgiveness and self compassion.

We are all just doing the best we can each and every day.

So you messed up – big time!

Well – we all do.

Some people just hide it better than others ha ha ah ha.

So – on that note – if you have been having a hard time letting go of some angst and regrets and recriminations lately……..now is the time.

As the Disney classic Frozen says: Let It Go! Let It Go!

It is time to give yourself a break and realise that you are a human being.

Sure – try to do better next time and move forward – but do so with forgiveness and learning and JOY.

It is simply the next step on the journey to discovering who you are.
