We are all human which automatically means we will mess up and fall short.

So, you messed up.
You made a mistake that you are now playing through your mind over and over.
Jonathan Borba
You sit in the silence and are overwhelmed by the guilt and shame of it all.
And somehow, youve allowed your mind to convince you that no one else out there is making mistakes.
Its during these moments that I want you to take a step back and realize that you are okay.
You are not alone.
Because we are all human which automatically means we will mess up and fall short.
Not just once or twice but time after time after time.
And thats perfectly okay.
So, try and look at your slip-ups from an angle of self-compassion.
The only thing you have control over now is how you react and move forward.
Take responsibility for your actions.
Apologize to whoever you hurt.
Get help from outside sources if necessary.
But, do all of this while not berating your heart and filling your mind with negative self-talk.
No, do all of this while practicing self-forgiveness and self-love.
Be able to own up to what you did while not allowing whats in the past to define you.
Be able to acknowledge the heavy emotions flooding your body without letting them completely consume you.
We are all only doing the best we can, with what we have, where we are.
So, be gentle with yourself and know that this too shall pass.
You will make it through this, my friend.
