Get Unstuck

Often, We become stuck because we are divided against ourselves on the inside. Let's say we made a huge mistake at work, with a friend, or with our child. We are truly sorry, we have apologized, and we have done whatever we needed to correct the mistake. Yet we still blame ourselves, talk harshly to ourselves, and can't let it go. We are stuck and have an internal fight going on. The antidote to this is truth with compassion toward ourselves. Here's what you might say to yourself:
Yes, I did the wrong thing. I didn't mean to, and I am very sorry. I'm a good and imperfect person. Everyone makes mistakes, and this won't be the last one. I've done what I needed to do to apologize and make this right. My heart and intentions are good even when I make mistakes. I forgive myself, and I will let this go.
