Forgive Yourself. Today.

Friday 22th December

Hello 👋

For me, one of the most painful emotions is guilt.

As we prep for Christmas, a time of giving and a time of love.

Here's a warm thought to hold onto:

Forgive yourself.

The guilt holds you back, not the decision you made.

Decisions, right or wrong, are steps on the path of life.

They shape us, teach us, and sometimes even redirect us to roads less travelled.

The guilt that comes with them?

It’s not yours to carry. You’ve just convinced yourself it is.

Here's the deal:

• Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself. It’s the flame that melts away the frost of past regrets.

• Every decision is a story. Not all are fun. But all are essential.

• Guilt is a signpost. Not of the decision you made, but your current belief system towards it. Breathe. Analyse. Let go.

I want to wish everybody a wonderful holidays, whether you celebrate it or not.

Happy winter solstice too! Here’s to the next phase of life, and on to new adventures.

The next time guilt tries to blanket your spirit like the winter snow, choose to forgive yourself. Work out why you feel safer feeling that guilt and where those belief systems come from.

So, bundle up your lessons from this year, leave the guilt behind, and walk forward with a lighter step.

Stay warm out there,

Lots of love, as always.
