“Forgiveness is not for them, It’s for you.”
By Little Miss Self-care
Forgiveness, this is so important. First of all we need to forgive ourselves for anything we hold ourselves accountable for. We need to forgive all who have done us any harm in anyway. We do not do this for the person, we do this for ourselves. We shift our perception. We realise that forgiveness helps us. Forgiveness releases blockages in us.
Let go of negative beliefs and habits. In order to change our negative beliefs we must first understand what we are telling ourselves and then tell ourselves the exact opposite. Affirmations can help with this.
What are the benefits of forgiving and letting go?
- Improved mental health and well-being
- Decreased physical pain levels
- Reduced anxiety, depression and stress
- Lowers cholesterol, blood pressure and risk of heart attack
- Brings peace and balance to the body, mind and soul
“Forgive easily and often, for no one else but you.”

How do I forgive and let go?
Let go of negative beliefs and habits. In order to change our negative beliefs we must first understand what we are telling ourselves and then tell ourselves the exact opposite. Affirmations can help with this.
- Affirmations such as, I forgive myself for making mistakes. I forgive myself for having tried and failed. I forgive myself for the times I was too scared to try. I forgive myself for not addressing problems sooner. I forgive myself for not being perfect.
- I like to burn old thought patterns and beliefs, when one pops into my mind I simply write it out on paper and burn them in flames, literally.
- You could also visualise taking them somewhere very far away and burying them in the sand.
- EFT Tapping (emotional freedom technique) is a great way to work on forgiveness and letting things go.
- Decluttering your environment. I love the feeling of space in my home after a good declutter. I always feel lighter in my mind and body afterwards too.
