Today I forgive myself for...

<< < (2/3) > >>

--- Quote from: PhoenixRising on August 20, 2011, 09:07:23 AM ---I forgive myself for thinking that the way my mother treated me, was all my fault. That I deserved it. That I was the biggest, fakest excuse for a human being just this side of Hitler and Jack the Ripper. Fundamentally flawed.

I forgive myself for looking for ways to "just die".

I forgive myself for trying to PROVE I deserved to locked up, shot at, and wiped from the face of the earth... because I was/am such an awful person...

-- for even daring to care about myself enough to defend myself physically, have compassion for myself and my losses/lacks, and try to live a normal, happy well-adjusted life in spite of all the "yuck" I was dealt in my FOO.

I forgive myself for being so damn tediously tiresome and relentlessly determined, repeatedly, writing the same thing over & over, until the words accumulated enough energy for the lightbulb to go on... or someone hit me over the head with the 2x4 of the gift of "enlightenment" - "this is how it is...".

--- End quote ---

I like this.  It's close to me and my experience(s).

Houts!
 appropos something completely different, just got back from holiday, and  I was thinking of your analogy of the airoplane instructions and the O2 mask, its such a good one,.... 'who do you help first?'

Hi Rivs! Pretty powerful question, huh? Another of the whaky methods I have been studying lately talks about asking questions without rushing to get the answers... Simply allowing the answer to come to you when it comes...

Today I forgive myself for being governed by my fears...

....for feeling insecure and less intelligent than my co-workers.

Hi all,
Today I forgive myself for standing up for myself (if that makes sense and I am sure it does!)
Thanks
