Forgive Yourself First. Release the Need to Replay a Negative Situation

Forgive yourself first. Release the need to replay a negative situation over and over again in your mind. Do not become a hostage to your past by always reviewing and reliving your mistakes. Do not remind yourself of what should have, could have or would have been. Release it and let it go. Move on. You can’t change the past, but you can determine that your past will not define your present, or dictate your future. Forgive your former self…for the way you may have sabotaged your present options. Recognize that the ability to create a new life lies in the ability to forgive yourself first and make peace with your past. You have greatness within you!
