Publisher's summary

We have all done things that we regret and felt guilty, angry, or sad about. These emotional reactions, and the experience of regret in general, are not necessarily bad. In fact, they are evidence that we have a moral code or a sense of ethics that defines us.

Instead, it is our response to regret that often causes unnecessary problems. Guilt and related negative emotions are stagnant. But you don’t need to be ruled by guilt and what has passed. We must learn to respond to the feelings of guilt and regret in more appropriate ways.

This audiobook will help you take necessary steps to gain the capacity for proactive action. You don't have to waste any more time beating yourself up over what has already happened; Instead, your mind and emotions need to be free to focus on what really matters in the present.

In this audiobook, I'm going to help you reflect more realistically on what you need to forgive yourself for, and why you have a right to forgive yourself. It's going to be an organic and concerted effort originating from your own thoughts, but I can help you get there.

By understanding how each mistake serves a purpose as a learning experience, you will no longer allow your past actions to limit the extent to which you change for the better and move forward in life. Once you learn how to adopt this perspective, it will stay with you, continually benefiting you and those around you. Ultimately, from this experience, you will feel lighter and more peaceful as a result of finally being able to live in the present.

Let's get started!

Guaranteed to provide insight on your negative thoughts

I had a shameful/ guilty moment at work. This book gave me realistic information to input in place of my self identification with the mistake.

A lot of help in a brief listening

To the point, but sufficiently clear. Immediately helpful! Will return to listen if I ruminate.

Understanding one’s self

I appreciated it’s a way to explain how to give grace to yourself. It’s hard to get out of the mindset of feeling negative and guilty… to the point where it feels like pettiness. I think listening and practicing to these steps to better understand and forgive yourself and move forward with life.

For a short book, it exceeded expectation

I bought this book with low expectations, but I was amazed and impressed with this book. In a half hour my thought process and my outlook on forgiving myself has changed and how to effectively go about it.
