“some days i need to forgive myself over and over — twenty times, thirty times. i usually don't need a formal meditation to do so; i simply recognize that i'm judging or disliking myself and bring compassion to the pain i'm feeling. i consciously hold the intention to let go of blame and try to be more kind to myself.”
