Anxiety is often created within us, because of our unwillingness to forgive ourselves. I know there are some things in my life I am unrelentingly critical about. I wish I had treated a friend better. I regret I didn’t get my doctorate degree. I feel guilty I am divorced after 25 years of marriage. I [...]
