Anyone who has done something they regret knows the power of an apology. Mending relationships is a crucial step towards moving forward in a recovery journey, but the most important apology is often overlooked.
Self-forgiveness is the most important forgiveness to ask for and accept. Just as calcium is useless to the body without Vitamin D, a person can’t absorb positive thinking unless the person can forgive themselves. In this way, they begin to embrace positive thinking.
It’s often difficult for people to forgive themselves, as humans tend to be their own worst critics. Rather than seeing someone worthy of forgiveness, sometimes people see a failure in the mirror. With such a distorted self-image, it can be impossible to see beyond negative self-esteem.
However, fear not. No matter what, it is never too late to grow. There is little that can’t heal with patience and love. Finances, friendships, and physical bodies can all heal and grow if we choose to let them.
If one were to lower their guard, they could take the first step by asking themselves for forgiveness and accepting their apology.
Everyone, at some point, has had to apologize. How people behave when accepting an apology can be influenced by remembering what it’s like being on the other side. How can one forgive themselves or others? By remembering, we are all human, and every person has a different path and story.
People forgive each other because there is love. Where there is love, there is growth potential. People forgive themselves because no one got to choose their childhood, upbringing, or parents. Life is a game of chance, and no one got to choose the hand they were dealt.
When shame and blame no longer hold power, the mind can breathe and begin to embrace change and positivity. What’s in the past is over, and it can be let go because there is no changing it. What matters is where one is and where they want to go next.
Our thoughts can either help or hinder us; our thoughts can invoke feelings of happiness or lead us into deep despair. A person’s thoughts can influence their actions, and even if you do not act on some of your thoughts, it determines your perception of the world around you.
Hopefully, over time as people learn to grow and embrace change, they may realize it is the thought that counts.
It’s important to remember the benefits of keeping one’s thoughts. By cultivating positive beliefs and attitudes about oneself, life can become revolutionized and create a brighter perception of their life.
With health and positivity prioritized in life, anyone can rise to the challenges in life and overcome even the toughest trials.
Life will always have its ups and downs, but someone’s outside circumstances don’t have to measure and dictate the way they feel inside.
When people take control of their mindset, it can open a whole new way of living life. People can see things with fresh eyes and accomplish things they may never have thought possible.
