Personal Forgiveness
Taking responsibility for mistakes is a positive step, but don’t beat yourself up about them. To err (犯错) is human. 1 You can use the following writing exercise to help you do this.
In a journal or on a piece of paper, put the heading “Personal strengths.” 2 Are you caring Creative Generous A good listener Fun to be around They don’t have to be world-changing, just aspects of your personality that you’re proud of.
At the top of a second page, put the heading “Acts of kindness.” On this one, list all the positive things you’ve done for others. It might be the time when you helped a friend with their homework, when you did the ironing without being asked, or when you baked cookies after the family had had a tiring day. 3
You could ask a friend or family member to help add to your list. 4 That way, you could exchange thoughts on what makes each of you special and the aspects of your personality that shine through. In fact, don’t wait until you’ve made a mistake to try this — it’s a great way to boost self-confidence at any time.
It’s something of a cliché (陈词滥调) that most people learn not from their successes but their mistakes. The thing is, it’s true. 5 We’re all changing and learning all the time and mistakes are a positive way to develop and grow.
A. A little self-forgiveness also goes a long way.
B. Now list all the characteristics you like about yourself.
C. They might even like to have a go at doing the exercise.
D. It’s just as important to show yourself some forgiveness.
E. It doesn’t mean you have to ignore what’s happened or forget it.
F. Whatever it is, no matter how small it might seem, write it down.
G. Whatever the mistake, remember it isn’t a fixed aspect of your
personality.

参考答案
One possible version:
Hi, everyone. I’m very glad to share something about personal forgiveness with you.
When we make mistakes, it’s easy to get caught up in self-blame and negative self-talk, which can damage our self-confidence. However, it’s important to remember that “To err is human”. We’re learning all the time and mistakes are a positive way to develop and grow. Forgiving ourselves means acknowledging our mistakes, taking responsibility for them, and committing to making adjustments and doing better in the future.
To forgive ourselves, we can list personal strengths we’re proud of and acts of kindness we’ve done for others. It’s a great way to boost self-confidence.
Forgiving ourselves can be a gradual process. By practicing self-forgiveness and self-love, we can free ourselves from the past and create a brighter future for ourselves.

How to forgive yourself
Here are some ways to kick-start the forgiveness and healing (康复) process:
1. Understand that you’re not perfect
You’re not perfect. 1 You’re not perfect — and you’re not a bad person, either. You’re just a human being. Extend yourself the same favor that you extend to others. Are you expecting yourself to live up to standards you would never impose on anyone else
2. Be clear on why you’re upset with yourself
2 Have you caused someone else pain Have you done something that you’re embarrassed about Whatever it is is probably uncomfortable to look at, but taking it head-on can be educational.
Try to be scientific about what happened and why it’s bothering you so much. In my case, being late makes me feel irresponsible and incompetent. I don’t like to think of myself as either of these things, and I don’t want anyone else feeling that way either.
3. Repair what you can
Once you’ve identified what your “wrongdoing” is, you’ll be able to tell if you need to make changes to it. 3 Even if the ship has sailed and you’ll never have a chance to make it up, you can acknowledge it for yourself so you can let go of the past. You’re not a bad person; you just didn’t finish doing something. 4_
4. Regain objectivity
Most of us aren’t ER surgeons — meaning that our dropped balls don’t have life-or-death repercussions (影响). But when we get wrapped up in self-criticism, it certainly feels that way. 5 I learned that no one was really as mad at me as I was. The good news about that was that I could always choose to cut myself some slack.
HELP:
cut sb some slack: 放某人一马(不作批评或不故意刁难)
A. It’s not fun, but it happens.
B. But whichever it is, move on.
C. You may owe someone an apology.
D. Say it in the mirror, write it down, put it on a coffee cup.
E. Try to uncover what’s at the root of your guilty feelings.
F. When we get stuck on beating ourselves up, we suffer through it all.
G. Talking to a coach or a friend really helped me to dig out of the guilt.
