In this week's 5-Minute Fuel, Peggy encourages you take more steps toward forgiving yourself for a past mistake. Listen in and refer to the steps below to rid yourself of that shame, guilt or regret. 
Steps:
1. Identify something that you feel regret over and write it down.

2. Write how not forgiving yourself for this mistake holds you back? How has it impacted your life?
3. Write what you have learned from this mistake.

4. Lastly, write "I forgive myself for ________. I have learned from this mistake and it no longer controls me. I have let it go and am not defined by my past regrets."

5. If you like, take symbolic action to get rid of it: burn the paper, send it to someone or give it a good rip and dump it in the trash.
