Ever had an argument or disagreement with someone that left you feeling angry or hurt? Ever lost something because of your unreasonable and thoughtless act?



You might've said things that you didn't actually mean or you might've not handled the things in a way you wanted to. It's common that you look back on those moments and you beat yourself for not acting better. You regret and feel shameful. Ultimately, we are all humans and we all make mistakes. What matters is how better your next version is going to be.. going beyond self-apology

Dear fella thinkers, remember that it's okay to make mistakes. Let's practice self-compassion and forgive all the past versions of ourselves with empathy. We tend to call our younger self "a mess" as 11 year old me calls, 7 year old me as a mess. 14 year old me calls 11 year old me as a mess and it goes on until the end of the life, an overwhelming path of finding peace.

But today, I want to challenge this pattern of thinking. Each experience we've had has contributed to shaping the person we are today. Instead of focusing on self-apology, I believe it's more productive to practice self-compassion and self-love. This means acknowledging the difficult emotions we may have experienced in the past, while also recognizing that we did the best we could with the knowledge and resources we had at the time.

THE UNAPOLOGETIC SELF AS THE TRUEST FORM OF SELF

Let's accept and appreciate all parts of ourselves at different stages of life, and move forward with greater understanding and acceptance of who we are.

Over and Out,
Introspective spirit, Usha😉
