The Love Project & Forgiveness

Thank you for the overwhelming positive comments about last week's blogpost! I am so happy to hear that so many of you related to the subject matter - it certainly is commonplace that we are our own worst enemy at times!

I hope you all have had a fantastic week and have been a little more conscious of your self-talk and hopefully added in some encouraging words, compliments and supportive thoughts. I know this last week, I have definitely been very aware of my thoughts and have made it a point of not being so hard on myself (yes, I DO try to practice what I preach!) And I must say, at least for me, I've been in a better mood, have been able to get more done and overall feel even better than before... who woulda thought just being kind to yourself can have such an impact!! I do believe this could be the secret to life!

And so this week, I wanted to focus on forgiveness. Because truly, part of being able to love oneself unconditionally and be your own best friend is being able to forgive yourself. Fully and completely. We all make mistakes. All of us. And hopefully we all learn and grow from them. A wise friend of mine once said "You can only call it a mistake if you do the same thing twice". If you learn from it and move forward, then its not a mistake, but merely a life lesson. It's one thing to have people tell you what to do/not to do - but sometimes we just have to learn for ourselves. Wisdom comes with age, but so does bitterness. Be careful what you choose to bring along with you through time.

The point is, we all have a list of regrets or 'mistakes' (for some that list is long, others maybe a few things here and there) but regardless, if you are the type to hold on to your less-than-fabulous decisions and berate yourself (even years after the fact) - then that lack of forgivness is undoubtedly going to be a huge road block in your way. How can one have emotional/mental wellness without forgiveness? Not possible.

Before we can forgive, accept, love, cherish anyone else - we must forgive, accept, love and cherish ourselves. Sounds like a hallmark card, but its true. My hope for you this week is that you consider for a moment all the things that you are 'mad at yourself' about - and we all have them: bad relationship decisions, health behaviours, family drama, work politics - you get the picture. Now think about how good you would feel to just let that go. Forgive yourself and move on. Clean the slate.

Now doesn't that feel better?

Take some time with this and continue to join me and others on this joyful adventure with the Love Project!

yeah sure, the first objetive in this life is the auto acceptation, the only the obstacle that are between you and your objetive, is a mirror, so break the mirror and take your life in youe own hands.
