Practice forgiveness, starting with yourself from "summary" of Buy Yourself the F*cking Lilies by Tara Schuster
Forgiveness is a practice. It's not a one-time event but a continuous effort to release the grip of anger and resentment. And it starts with forgiving yourself. We are often our harshest critics, quick to judge ourselves for our mistakes and shortcomings. But holding onto self-blame only perpetuates our own suffering. To truly move forward, we must learn to let go of the past and make peace with ourselves. When we forgive ourselves, we acknowledge that we are imperfect beings, capable of making mistakes. We accept that we are human and deserving of compassion and understanding. This act of self-forgiveness allows us to heal from our past wounds and move towards a brighter future. It gives us the freedom to grow and evolve, unencumbered by guilt and shame. Forgiving ourselves also sets a powerful example for how we should treat others. By showing ourselves kindness and forgiveness, we learn to extend the same grace to those around us. We create a ripple effect of compassion that can transform relationships and bring about healing. So, take a moment to reflect on any lingering feelings of guilt or shame you may be holding onto. Allow yourself to let go of these burdens and embrace a new way of being. Practice forgiveness, starting with yourself, and watch as your world begins to shift in beautiful and unexpected ways.
