We can’t change the past, but we can learn from it and use those experiences as tools for change. Instead of getting caught up in the “shoulds,” think of ways that you can learn to adjust your way of thinking. Start by letting go of the thoughts that may not even be beneficial to you. Where did those thoughts develop? What can you do or say to challenge those thoughts? Being a human means that you have made mistakes and will continue to make mistakes. Forgiveness is the key to allowing yourself to take your life in a more positive direction.
