For the women healing self…

Dear Me,

Wow, you have made a lot of mistakes up until now. But take heart, each one has led you to being a better version of yourself. I watched you work hard at dealing with lingering feelings as they came up in your everyday life. You pay attention to your reactions to others. You’ve taken traumatic situations as opportunities to heal and grow. I see you doing your best to let go of all your past anger, rage, and resentments. I’m done expecting you to be perfect. I’m sorry that I haven’t had compassion for you. You deserve the same compassion you’ve given to so many others. I know you learned from your mistakes and paid high prices for some of them. You are a better person now because of your experiences.

I forgive you for putting your worth in other people’s visions of you. I realize now that you are the only one who must believe in yourself and your abilities in order to have a better life. When I see you through eyes of love, I’m not seeing all the things you did wrong. I’m seeing you in this moment, the way you righted your wrongs, the kindness of your heart, and the loving nature you kept buried in fear of someone taking it away. I’ve uncovered your worth.

I understand that no one can ever take away that part of you. It doesn’t matter who loves you or who thinks you’re worthy. That is their business. You are nurturing and loving you the best you can. I want you to project the love you have inside.

It’s time to let go of the perceptions of the past that created an injured version of you. We don’t need her anymore. Embrace the woman you are right now. You are love. You are being the best version of the you that you want to be.

With Acceptance and Love,

A Better Me

Self

When it comes to forgiveness, sometimes the biggest challenge is to forgive ourselves. When we don’t forgive ourselves, our shame and guilt projects into everything we do in the world. Our relationships suffer; our causes suffer; the world suffers; we suffer. If we are rescuers, martyrs, and doormats, we are codependent on others to give us what we aren’t giving ourselves—LOVE! We can only be depleted by our service to others if we aren’t serving ourselves first. When we give to ourselves first, we see clearly how to best serve others. Sometimes that means letting them do for themselves.

Forgiving ourselves is a huge part of this equation. We get so full of our own shame and guilt that we give beyond our limits of what is healthy. In order to heal, we have to release ourselves from our pasts and forgive ourselves for the mistakes we made before we knew better. Some of these mistakes will go back as far as we can remember. We didn’t know better. WE DIDN’T KNOW BETTER. If we knew better, we would have chosen better.
