Moving From Self-Blame To Self-Forgiveness

It can be easy to move into self-blame and stay there, ruminating over mistakes made. Instead, we can effectively move through self-blame by taking an objective view of the situation, moving into constructive action, and finally forgiving ourselves and moving on.

Lesson 1

Why Self Blame Can Seem Like A Good Idea?

We can enter into self blame and reside there as a means to feel a sense of control of the situation. If we are the ones to blame, then we can insure that we prevent any further mistakes from occurring, but this is not how life works and we explore how very human it is to make mistakes.

Lesson 2

What If I Am To Blame?

In certain situations, we as humans do make mistakes. In this lesson, we explore when we have made an error, how we are responsible for it, and how we can employ a process so that we accept our part, make amends, learn the lesson, and, most importantly, forgive ourselves and move on.

Lesson 3

Granting Ourselves Forgiveness And Moving On

A part of the process of releasing self-blame is to allow self-forgiveness to take place and allow ourselves to move on. Making a mistake does not require you to stay in some form of self-blame for long periods of time. We can process the situation and grant ourselves the freedom to release it and move forward with our lives.
