Forgiving yourself from guilt and shame: Step 6 of 7 Self-Love Mini Series.

Sometimes we feel guilty for something we participated in, enabled, or turned a blind eye to, and forgiving ourselves and getting over it can prove to be difficult. We may go into denial to suppress the guilt, but this only lead to self-loathing or self-neglect. When we carry guilt for so long, it turns into shame. Shame never serves any purpose to our higher level of consciousness or relationship with others or selves, and forgiving ourselves makes all the difference. It allows us to use guilt to open our eyes to a situation, figure out what is out of place and get some clarity from the other person's point of view so that we can start moving toward forgiveness and self-love.

Join the conversation with your host Bettina as she shares more about forgiving yourself, self-love, and the importance of forgiving yourself for various things, thoughts, words, and deeds. Learn how to get on a path that leads to self-forgiveness and live your life without the captivity of guilt and regret.

(Step 7 of 7 Self-Love Mini-Series): Living a life with intention

In the hustle and bustle of everyday existence, it's easy to feel like life is happening to us rather than being guided by our own choices. We find ourselves drifting along, tossed by the winds of circumstance, unsure of our purpose and lacking a sense of fulfillment. But what if there was a way to break free from this cycle and seize the reins of our destiny? What if we could live intentionally, with purpose, and cultivate a deep sense of self-worth and self-love?

Living intentionally is more than just existing; it's a conscious decision to take charge of our lives and become the architects of our own destinies. It means mindfully aligning our thoughts, actions, and values to create a life that reflects our truest desires and aspirations. By doing so, we transcend the role of passive spectators and become active participants in our own narratives.

Are you ready to transform your life, embrace self-love, and live intentionally? Join this conversation with Bettina as she helps you discover the secrets to starting a life filled with purpose, clear goals, and gratitude. Learn how to live a life where you feel pulled towards your dreams rather than being pushed by external forces.
