Three‑Step Practice to Cultivate SELF-FORGIVENESS
1. Name the regret – Write down the specific mistake in one sentence. 2. Reframe the story – Ask, “What did I learn?” and replace “I failed” with “I discovered.” 3. Grant permission – Say aloud, “I forgive myself and move forward,” and seal it with a small, celebratory gesture (like a fist pump).
