Today I am going to try to talk about a very sensitive topic. We have all been there. We made some mistakes, forgot to send that extremely important mail at work, missed the birthday of your kid because you were travelling for work, shared too much in a party, or made a completely wrong career choice or you might have hurt someone intentionally or unintentionally. I can go on and on but I guess you got my point, right?. We have all been there. We all had our fair share of mistakes. But rather than moving on, we tend to linger in the past and blame ourselves for these mistakes. Today, I want to talk about the ways you can forgive yourself.
