The starting point of forgiving self is forgiving others!
When others hurt us we hold the grudge as a badge of honor and end up paying a bigger price of loss of peace of mind. Instead, if we forgive wholeheartedly, we let go of all future hurt and loss of energy. When you can forgive others you can also forgive yourself.
What stops us? Negative ego which questions: “how dare they do this to me?”
I will teach them a lesson! In the end, we are the ones who get taught a lesson that forgiving others leads to forgiving self!
