The difference between holding on to a hurt or releasing it with forgiveness is the difference between laying your head at night on a pillow filled with thorns or a pillow filled with rose petals. - Loren Fischer

Forgiveness is all-powerful. Forgiveness heals all ills. - Catherine Ponder

One of the most powerful single acts we can do is forgive. Most people find it easier to forgive others than forgive themselves. Self blame can be found at the core of many emotional issues.

Learning to forgive yourself is a giant leap on the road to happiness. Each time you forgive yourself for something you’ve done, didn’t do, said or any other action where you judge yourself, you remove a layer that is blocking you from being more whole or complete.

Work on forgiving the little things you feel guilty about and not the big ones that happen only every so often. These little “guilts” pile up over your lifetime and become a heavy emotional burden. Though this may seem strange to some, I would suggest consciously forgiving yourself by looking in the mirror and saying out loud what you are forgiving. Be specific. Look into your eyes. This is a powerful exercise and could potentially change your life.

Think what you have guilty feelings about and start (today) forgiving yourself.

Have a great day!
