Practice selfcompassion and forgiveness from "summary" of Raising Happiness by Christine Carter, Ph.D.
When we make a mistake, it is natural to feel guilty or ashamed. It is easy to be hard on ourselves when we fall short of our own expectations. However, self-compassion and forgiveness are essential components of emotional well-being. By practicing self-compassion, we can treat ourselves with the same kindness and understanding that we would offer to a friend in a similar situation. This involves acknowledging our imperfections and mistakes without judgment or self-criticism. Forgiveness is also a crucial element in promoting happiness and resilience. Holding onto grudges or resentment can weigh us down emotionally and prevent us from moving forward. By forgiving ourselves for our past mistakes and letting go of negative emotions, we can free ourselves from the burden of the past and make room for growth and self-improvement. Forgiveness does not mean condoning harmful behavior or forgetting about the consequences of our actions. Instead, it involves accepting what has happened and choosing to release the negative emotions associated with those experiences.- They are acts of self-care and self-acceptance that can help us cultivate a more positive and compassionate relationship with ourselves. By practicing self-compassion and forgiveness, we can develop greater resilience, emotional well-being, and self-awareness. This, in turn, can lead to increased happiness, fulfillment, and overall life satisfaction.
