REEL 5: Forgiving myself
What's the one thing you still replay on the drive home? That replay is usually what not forgiving yourself sounds like, and every time you run it back, it costs you energy you could be putting into your family or the next thing you're building. So do a quick audit: write down the thing you keep replaying, and next to it, write what you'd rather spend that energy on this week, small enough that you'll actually do it. When the replay starts again, and it will, that's your cue to go do the thing on the right side of the page. Some days you'll have to choose forgiveness more than once, which is normal, and it still counts. Save this for the morning you wake up already running it back.
