How to forgive myself for not being perfect by placidrain

"it is hard. and it is permanent work. it will never stop."

How I did it: I try to be patient with myself. I learned to like myself how I am. and I try my best. if this is not good enough it's not my problem. hm don't know. it is a process you're going through when you want to. Spirituality helped a lot. I don't talk about Religion - what I mean is a healthy mind. To be one and conscious about the things which happen in this world. It's okay to be who you are. Another thing was that I always try to see myself from the outside, out of body. To see if I like myself how I am. And I usually think of my friends - do I like them although they are not perfect? Yes! And in fact: I like them because they are not perfect!

Lessons & tips: see above.

Resources: spirituality. little bit of buddhism. belief - in myself. my friends where a big help. all of them.

Great entry

and so so poignant. Forgiveness of the self is all about self – love, which I would say is one of our biggest lessons in life. Thanks for sharing :)

NOW, I realized that it was an illusion. I still tried to be perfect. And this time not even for myself but someone else! How stupid I was. I was living a lie. And I don’t know how to stop it.
