Stop blaming yourself – do this instead

Recently, I’ve been finding myself criticising myself for the endless number of things I should have not done. 

Things that I am not proud of, things that show how insecure and unaware I might have been, and things that make me think and re-think how much time I wasted. 

When I am in that flow of mindset I feel empty, sad and at failure. 

I bet you know it is not nice if you have been there. It is a horrible place where guilt predominates over everything and feels impossible to cope with all those acts that felt so right once but not anymore. 

We know we can’t change the past but we can change our way of thinking and live our present life with more intention.

The other day, while I was washing the dishes I couldn’t stop thinking about several mistakes I made in my life. I was blaming myself for how I was not capable to understand and see things in the way they really were.. and suddenly, something came up to my mind, yes is true, those things happened, I wish I didn’t do them but I can’t change it now. But there is something I can do and this is to think about the things which I am proud of, those actions that made me change my path, the path which is definitely much healthier and richer.Leaving toxic relationships for instance has been a life-saving act. I can’t think of myself still being there.

Quitting smoking and drinking habit has been one of the best decision I made. That’s a good step, and I congratulate myself! 

What are the decisions that makes you feel proud of yourself ? I would like to hear about your life-changing decisions

I choose to think about the good things I did and by doing so I feel better and inspired to do more good.  

I hope this article helped you

Warm Regards
