Forgiveness

The card’s invitation

I may keep the lesson and loosen the blame.

Your ritual

You’ll need: Paper and a pen

  1. Write one mistake for which you keep punishing yourself. Describe it plainly.
  2. Write the lesson you want to keep and one repair you can still make, if any.
  3. Fold the page like a boat and keep it on your table. Practice leaving the repeated punishment behind.
