I recently read a story from the Bible and it talked about honesty and the truth. We’ve all heard it before, “The truth shall set you free”. What are you holding on to? Are you ruminating over a secret or something from your past? Are you unable to forgive yourself?

I was talking to a friend last week and she shared something with me that she has been holding onto for over 40 years. She opened up, cried about it, talked about it and through this process, forgave herself. She was able to let out an inner demon. The truth set her free.

Well then, now it’s time for me to get honest and tell the truth. Life has not been all peaches and cream for me lately. I’ve been struggling a lot with my mood. I feel like I’m always in my head ruminating over anxieties and things I can’t control. Mostly, I seem to be fixated on mistakes from my past. It all comes down to self-forgiveness. I am so quick to forgive others, why can’t I forgive myself? I have been too caught up in one of my main character defects of self-loathing. Today, I choose love. Today, I choose to practice self-love rather than self-loathing. So today, I am going to practice self-forgiveness. I am deserving of love and forgiveness. And so are you!

Do you have someone to confide in? Do you have someone to just let it out with? Sometimes journaling can also help with this concept. Message me and let’s chat! We can get through this together! Check out the Emotional Wellness Tab for strategies on self-forgiveness and journaling.
