Forgiving yourself for your past and forgiving yourself for your present.We logically know that we cannot change the past. We know it. But emotionally, we replay it. We reinforce it. We punish ourselves for it. And over time, that creates a loop of regret.If there is behavior that needs to change, change it. Take ownership. Make adjustments. But beating yourself up over and over does not move you forward. It keeps you anchored to who you used to be.Your current circumstances are based on past decisions. That is true. But they do not define you.You still get to decide who you are. You still get to choose what type of person you want to be. You still get to change direction.In this episode, I talk about how regret becomes a pattern, how we can get stuck recycling old stories, and why forgiveness is a necessary part of growth. I also speak to the importance of therapy and having a productive working relationship with a professional who can help you unpack what is hard to untangle alone.You are going to fail again. You are going to mess up again. That is part of being human. Forgive yourself for that too.This is the inside/out approach. Appreciating who and what you see in the mirror. Not just your appearance, but the person underneath. Developing genuine belief in yourself. Building consistency as a skill around your preferences instead of punishment.You are not your worst decision.You are not your regret.You are allowed to change direction.Please share this episode with anyone you think would be interested in listening to it.Visit darylperrypodcast.com for links to the show page on each of the major podcast directories.
