Let's Talk About Forgiving The Past Versions Of Yourself

You know those moments when you look back and think ... “How in the WORLD did I let that happen?” or “How could I not have known better?” ... You're not alone.. We’ve all been there.

That version of you was doing the best they could… with what they knew at the time. They didn’t have your wisdom, your tools, or your healing yet.They were just trying to survive.

The moment you start forgiving those past versions of yourself…is the moment you free your present self to truly live.

A Simple Practice: The “I love you” Mirror

Today, stand in front of a mirror, take a breath, and say:“I love you... Thank you for getting me here. You did your best... I got us from here"..

It’s simple but powerful... Because forgiveness isn’t about forgetting the past. It's about honoring the one who got you through it.

What’s one version of you that’s hardest to forgive? And what would you say to them if they were standing in front of you right now?
