Forgive Myself

[Remember to tap for your goals.]

Forgiveness can be difficult enough, but it gets even harder when it comes to forgiving ourselves. For some reason it is often easy for us to give others the benefit of the doubt, but we aren’t able to extend the same charity towards ourselves.

When we don’t forgive ourselves we give our critical voice more ammunition. When we experience a lack of confidence the critical voice will jump right in and draw upon all of our past failings.

This week’s tool is very simple: at least once a day (I would recommend doing it twice a day) tap through the following script.

PLEASE say the phrases out loud. Yes, I know it is not comfortable to say this out loud, but it will have more power when you give voice to these words.

Feel free to experiment with tapping on all the points or just tap on the karate chop point the whole time.

There is a part of me that struggles with forgiving myself.

When I forgive myself I am not saying I should repeat the same choices.

When I forgive myself I am not saying that I am going to forget the lessons of my past choices.

If you hit the little printer button below you can print this page out so you can take the script with you.

I have also included an audio of the tapping part so you can go back to it.
