Tomorrow is a New Day - Affirmation Series

Today’s affirmation is: I forgive myself.As I’m recording this it’s the last few hours on the last day of the year. For many of us, this year has been A LOT. It came with some high highs and some really low lows. And when things go bad, the tendency is to treat yourself badly, too. We talk down to ourselves. We bring up past failures. Sometimes, we can be downright mean. It has to stop. It’s time to forgive…not them, you.In this episode, I'll share an exercise to help you forgive yourself. Grab a piece of paper and a pen or have your phone handy. After listening, please rate the episode, leave comments and share.
