Today I get real, deep, and personal as I explore the tender space I find myself in lately: finding forgiveness for the younger versions of me that didn’t always make the best and brightest decisions in life.
While obviously all of those past versions of me got me to where I am today (and that’s pretty great!), I find myself wondering at the “whys” of how I started down the unhealthy paths that held me captive for so many years of my life. That process has led me to self-compassion once again, and the profound but simple notion of forgiveness.
I talk about how considering all three directions of forgiveness as a practice provides a beautiful framework for keeping perspective. We can ultimately find forgiveness if we’re willing to stay open, honest, and hold the intention to do so in our hearts as we practice it. Today’s take-away is this forgiveness meditation as I learned it from Jack Kornfield.
