THE KEYS TO SELF-FORGIVENESS- Days 9 and 10

Welcome to the Learning To Forgive Radio Series 14-Day Challenge -  Days 9 & 10 on "The Keys To Self-Forgiveness."

Over the last few radio shows we’ve talked a lot about forgiving others, but sometimes the most important–and hardest–person to forgive is yourself. The most important aspect of self-forgiveness is honoring yourself as a person. If you don’t address mistakes right away and choose to let them fester inside, you run the risk of entering a vicious cycle of self-loathing which can lead to depression and poor self-care habits. 

During this show you will learn to give yourself grace and self-compassion. You will learn a few of the many reasons you might want to work on forgiving yourself. Here are a few to think about...

• You didn’t do it on purpose.
• You’ve likely done what you can to remedy any effects.
• One mistake doesn’t define you.
• You probably learned from it (or will learn from it if you feel you haven’t yet).

Scriptures:

1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

1 Peter 5:7
Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

Ephesians 4:32
And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

Philippians 4:8
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
