SOLICITED ADVICE #14: Self-forgiveness
Escaping the doom loop of guilt (what if punishing yourself too cruelly for your mistakes is just as wrong as letting yourself off the hook?)
SOLICITED ADVICE is a column where I answer questions sent to askingsherry@gmail.com, for paid readers only.
Dear sherry,
I came across your blogs recently and it’s putting a huge impact on my thought process and views.
You have talked about how to build self esteem and what breaks it. My question is How to forgive yourself after you have done too much shit to yourself, betrayed your own self, didn’t kept any commitments to yourself which eventually destroyed your self esteem and willingness to live.
How do you forgive yourself for things you can not change but you know you fucked up and could have done better/differently?
Take love.
Hi ❤️ that is one of the worst feelings in the world. Much like how worrying is a bad use of your imagination, ruminating is an excruciating form of nostalgia.
