%% #🌱 #🟠 %% # Give yourself the gift of grace Grace is about acceptance, forgiveness and kindness. Accept that you are not perfect (no one is) and let things pass without judgement. Grace isn't an excuse to avoid responsibility or commitments. Giving grace is a way to hold tension between negative and positive emotions. >When regret and shame, for example, are met with acceptance, Sola says they're not just a source of distress but serve an important purpose by signaling to the mind and body that it's possible to act differently in the future. In that sense, consider giving yourself grace a step toward making different choices. *[1]* ## Sources *[1]* - [What it really means to give yourself grace](https://mashable.com/article/give-yourself-grace) ## Tags [[12 Personal Commandments]] --- <small>*Created on:* 2022-01-01</small> <small>*Last modified on:* 2022-11-05</small>
