Hey there. Forgiveness starts with forgiving yourself. It’s easy to blame ourselves for the mistakes we’ve made or for the situations that didn’t turn out the way we’d hoped. However, holding onto resentment only weighs us down.

The more we work on forgiving ourselves, the more we learn that this is the first step toward true self-acceptance. It’s not always easy, but forgiving yourself frees up space for new opportunities, relationships, and personal growth. If you’re struggling to let go, start with forgiving yourself first—you’ll be amazed at the weight that lifts.
