How To Forgive and Let Go of Your Past

How To Forgive and Let Go of Your Past

Failure is an epidemic. Do you know why? It’s not because people are inadequate. It’s because they think they are. This is what makes it so hard to forgive and let go.

We have some impossible standards that we measure ourselves against. And this has us beating ourselves up, blaming ourselves, and notices our deficits, any chance we get.

From my experience, we try so hard to get ourselves better, but we forget the way to healing is compassion and forgiveness. So we stay blocked from peace.

In this video, I am going to explain how to forgive and let go of your past and why you deserve it, plus give you practical steps on how to let go.

I hope this video on our How To Forgive and Let Go of Your Past serves you in finding hope. I have tons of videos on how to overcome fear and be happy. Subscribe and keep watching.

Very Positive! I had a hard time with forgiveness over a few people.Watching this has made me feel better.

Thank you Jodi for this video. I have no problem at all in forgiving others but a lot of trouble in forgiving myself. The first obstacle to forgiving myself is that in a way I find the idea confusing. We forgive others when they do something wrong. If I say I will forgive myself for the abuse, it's like saying: yes I am guilty but I need to forgive myself. So anytime I hear forgive yourself it felt like you did wrrong but it's Ok. This was confusing because in my heart I know its not meant this way. I love the explanation that "forgiving yourself" means letting go.

Amazing video. Thank you. I did something so terrible a few years ago and I am trying to forgive myself but am in question about how deserving I am of doing so. I hope my shame reduces over time, and want to end tge cycle of mental health that runs so deep on both sides of my fam. Thank you again for your words.

I've been around some people who get obsessed with my past. They don't see how I overcame it. It makes me feel ashamed of myself. All I want to do is be left alone so no one will bother me. I care how I treat others. I don't have a problems forgiving others but myself.

Dear Jodi

I had an argument with some of my high school colleagues 7 years ago and they badmouthed me and humiliated me and I can't stop hating them for what they said to me and how they behaved towards me. I wish I could forget this traumatic event completely and move on with my life and build my future. I developed PTSD and have severe stomach pains, heartaches and headaches because of so much hate and resentment. I cannot function properly in my daily life (I cannot concentrate, pay attention and learn and also complete my daily chores) because of all this anger and resentment. I am desperate because I cannot let go of all this traumatic memories. I would really appreciate your advice on how to let go and move on with my own life and be happy.

Thank you for your time and support.

Im still stuck in my past, always convincing myself that i was not
Not feeling happy with myself and i've lost it everday.. I was blamming myself for all the wrong decisions that i did in my past.. And also when i've lost the members of the family I cant handle my emotions i felt like im losing my inner peace. I dont know how to overcome this feeling i feel like im losing my mind like im crazy.. I was trying to find a peace in my life and in my soul..

[YasmineSantanafashionista]

what about when it is deeper than that ..like family that you cant exactly just let them go?? and what if they continue to hurt and abuse you "?? it sounds easy but it isnt when its family. thanks.

Thank you for making this video. It was simple, informative and really helpful. :-D

[cmscalvert]

I have a huge problem letting go. My mind works in such a way where I've mentally cataloged every bad experience I have had, including abuse by my peers and bad decisions I've made. I suffer from severe depression and anger because of it. I need to know, specifically, how to possibly let these bad things go...not to pretend they don't exist or never happened. It's impossible for me to forgive those who hurt me. I need help, please.

I made some horrible choices while drinking. Hurt some people making drunk calls. I'm so ashamed of myself, embarrassed and can't seem to let go. I've apologized to the people I needed to apologize to but my biggest battle is within myself. How could I be so stupid?? Why am I like this? Full of bad decisions. I'm my own worse enemy.

[anxietyebriety]

I deserve a woman that looks as good as you. I accept that.

[NikkyIcanNikkysurvivor]

I meant that I like the explanation that forgiving is just letting go. Guilt is not in the equation. The way I used to explain forgivness was linked to guilt. God forgives my sins. I forgive those who have hurt me. If I say I need to forgive myself for the abuse means it was my fault and I am guilty but I should forgive myself so it was confusing to me. It was like hearing you are innocent then you are guilty at the same time? I don't know how to e plain it

If You're moving on with your life what should you do if someone can't let go of your past? They keep dwelling on the bad things you do.

[lasilveira]

I cant let go of what my bf did to me when he fooled around on me for 9 months. We recently got back together, it's been good until I started getting signs of past events that he was doing to me come back. I confronted him but he denies it. How can I let the past go and move forward?

[MrBrayden]

I need help, I can not stop getting in trouble for almost nothing or over the littlest things in the world by my dad!

[thomasbaker]

I'm sick of it-I'll nearly have 2 apologise next 4 being tattooed..people make me sick they can do/have/get/c what they want but deprive me...its a hard thing 2 4give ..when uve put down a past/+presemt life that ive being through...

[babbypeaches]

What do you do is when you forgave your parents for abuse and when my parents passed they never forgave me and said I love you that is what hindered me i try to focus it was not me but how do u deal with abuse that came from a child and now u still go through flashbacks that happen the thing i want to do is confront people that raped me but cannot confront them the others that raped me. Got away with it couldnt do nothing and i wake up feel each day numb went into Amandas office the person that was helping me told me let the feelings ride but how when you wake up no one to say it is okay to 😢 or to hug my family ripped apart after my parents died and than i got raped more people laughed about it and shamed me to where i cry easily but i dont show it i dont know what it like to even be loved it hurts so bad where i am engaged but am afraid to lose a relationship and the abuse issues it goes bk to when i first got choked raped and all from different ppl the cops did nothing when i got raped in 2017 and 2016 all i can ask is why what did i do not one person will tell me in my family we love u or hug me because of this it painful why is it because my sister was allowed ppl birthday parties and all growing up me i wasnt i look back and feel unloved when my family did this to me and so called friends i wanted clouser and to be strong for others is hard i put my shit aside fight it to be strong to help them out. The way i grew up is a book by David Peltzer child called IT but reverse it to the rapes when a parents are supposed to protect their children mine never did try ice hot shoved in your privates and your dad strip in front of you and than later it stops but the cycle was there. I was raped all over again even in lower michigan i can forgive ppl and explain each detail as it happend to june 22 2018 i deal with it and listen to others and help them but do not speak of my past like a song american pie not a word was spoken that is how i am i love others but once they find out even back as far as i grew up in elementary school Jodi they run my parents had CPS on them they denied it with me said they never done it. I was raped so many times and even from my step brother and to confront him it wont happen i just want closer and want answers that all i wanted
