Stop beating yourself up about things from the past. Instead of slapping your forehead and asking, “What was I thinking?” Breathe. And ask the kinder question, What was I learning?”
Karen Salmansohn
We all have experiences which challenged and tested us. Some regrets are there, no doubt.
But what if, just WHAT IF we decided to look more kindly at ourselves for those decisions we made at that time?
It is easy to see how we can improve on things in retrospect. But what if we TRULY realized we were doing the absolute best we could at that time?
And whatever you want to chalk up the faulty decision making to–whether that’s youthful immaturity, lack of knowledge, or, perhaps, just plain deceit from other people–is it possible you could choose to acknowledge you truly did the best you could? Because you did, even if you need to admit the best wasn’t that good.
All of that is in the past now.
What you have for you now, though, is that experience to guide you to a better today. You have learned from your experiences and learning is NEVER a mistake.
We are here to help you find clarity and kindness through a New Thought, Right Action. Take a chance and sign up here to see what you can learn about yourself from a different point of view.
