Forgiving Yourself while Growing and Healing

One of the most common patterns I observed during my growth and the growth of my friends and my clients is that once we start healing and growing, we are overly harsh on ourselves.

We believe we shouldn't be feeling the way we feel, we shouldn't be acting in old ways, and we should be better than we are.

As I always say, growth is an imperfect process, and occasional emotional relapse or stagnation is part of it.

We work on ourselves because we want to be better and because we want to upgrade the quality of our lives to feel happier and more content with who we are.

Therefore we have to learn to forgive ourselves for our mistakes, shortcomings, or toxic traits we are working on.

The most important thing to understand is that you are working hard on yourself while uncovering traits and patterns that demand your courage to face them.

Self-judgment may be one of those traits. For your growth and healing to be truly effective, you must include self-forgiveness as a part of your healing process.

In today's episode, I will talk about the importance of forgiveness during your healing process. I will share with you three habits I regularly exercise when I find myself feeling guilty and shameful.
