Forgiving yourself: A guide to personal peace

Do you find yourself holding on to your past guilt or shame?  Do you find it hard to move on from things that have caused you pain?

We often fail to realize that forgiving and healing don’t have anything to do with people that has done us wrong but ourselves. Forgiving ourselves entails letting go of the feelings and emotions associated with what went wrong in our lives. It’s a journey towards embracing the flaws in ourselves & others and by choosing to forgive ourselves, we are relinquishing the weight of the anger, resentment, and guilt in our hearts. Learning to forgive ourselves is not a one-time act but rather a gradual process achieved through emotional work and reflection.

Outcome

Upon completion of this Round Table Discussion (RTD), you will:

• Reflect on feelings of pain, shame, and guilt you’ve been holding on to for long
• Understand the role self-forgiveness plays in your interpersonal relationships and in creating a joyful life
• Identify the potential reasons why you struggle to forgive yourself and the steps to take to practice self-forgiveness

This RTD will be facilitated by Lidya Yohannes, Membership Programs Manager of AWiB, a membership-driven organization that unleashes the potential through networking platforms.
