#day4 of 30 Days of #sobermonthexperiment ✨✨
As I reflect back, looking over my 30 day vision, the old-and new me statements, I thought about how often I hurt the people closest to me when drinking excessively, the morning after trying to piece together puzzle of the night that wasn't fully remembered ... the apologies for things I didn't even remember, the pit in my stomach when checking text messages, call records, social media hoping any damage done can be erased before it's too late... I re-call this horrible anxiety creeping in, the hours of beating myself up after... The countless failures of never keeping my promise not so much to others but to myself... #forgiveness is key in releasing the past, letting go of that energy that's not serving and moving on.
I wrote myself a forgiveness letter and it helped me to let go and even be grateful for the past as I know it'll be my biggest gift to share in the future
Here a great way to write a forgiveness letter to whomever you like to make peace with! I got this from a book written by Jack Canfield.
The good news is you don't even have to share this letter with anyone! Just by following this guideline you will release and transform negative energy into a positive one, feeling lighter and more 🥰
✨Acknowledge any Anger and resentment and the pain this person caused you.
✨Acknowledge the fear and self doubt it created
✨Own any part you played in it
✨Express what you want now and what you deserve ✨Understand where the other person was coming from (I.e. I understand that ..., I forgive you for ...)
✨End the letter truly forgiving that person and then let it all go!
❤️
