I free myself from the bonds of perfection and allow myself to make mistakes.

Everyone makes mistakes; after all, we are human! Yet, I know I am awesome just the way I am. I appreciate the wondrous talents and capabilities that were given to me at birth and strive to develop them to the best of my ability.

I am true to myself and make decisions according to what I know to be right. Sometimes I make wrong decisions, and that’s okay. When this happens, I forgive myself, learn from the mistake, and move forward with my life.

I endeavor to learn something from each slip-up. I find out what went wrong and why, then I use that knowledge to better myself. I take advantage of my mistakes and consider them as opportunities for inner growth.

I avoid over-dramatizing my mistakes and intensely worrying about the consequences. I know that it is just a bump in the road, and I can handle challenges with confidence.

If someone offers constructive criticism to me, I accept the suggestions gratefully and practice to avoid the same error in the future.

If I wrong someone, I do what I can to right the wrong and make amends.

Mistakes are a part of life and I respect that. Making a mistake does not lessen my value; it is what I do after the mistake that makes the most difference. Even when I err, I know I am still the wonderful person I was before the mishap.

Today, I give myself the freedom to make a mistake without worry. I choose to learn what I can from it and move forward with certainty that all will be well.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1. Do I accept my mistakes without beating myself up?
2. What was my last mistake? What did I learn from it?
3. What do I do immediately after I make a mistake?
