Day 86 : Facing Shame: A Journey of Self-Forgiveness and Self-Trust

For many years, I carried shame like a silent companion — heavy, invisible, but always close. Shame shaped how I saw myself, how I interacted with others, and how I reacted to the challenges of life. It was one of the most difficult emotions to face, because it told me:

“There’s something wrong with you.”
“You’re broken.”
“You’ll never change.”

Through working with Desteni I Process and TechnoTutor, I began writing out the layers of shame. What I found surprised me:
Shame wasn’t a punishment.
It was a signal — that I was believing something about myself that wasn't actually true.
It was a sign that I was ready to change.

Here are some of the self-forgiveness statements I wrote:


🔹 Self-Forgiveness on Shame

  • I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to define myself through the emotion of shame.
  • I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to believe that I am flawed and unworthy because of past mistakes.
  • I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to use shame to avoid facing myself, instead of realizing I can learn and grow.
  • I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to hide parts of myself from others, fearing judgment or rejection.
  • I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to hold onto shame as if it protects me, when in fact it keeps me stuck.

🔹 What I Realized:

Shame is not who I am.
It is an experience, not a truth.
It shows me the parts of myself that need care, responsibility, and redefinition.


🔹 Self-Corrective Application

When and as I notice myself going into shame, I stop and I breathe.
I remind myself that the past is not a life sentence — it is a lesson.
I look at what I can take responsibility for, and how I can realign myself with self-honesty.


🔹 Commitment to Myself

I commit myself to transforming shame into self-respect.


I commit myself to standing in my truth, even if I’m still a work in progress.


I commit myself to supporting others by sharing my journey, one breath at a time.



If this resonates with you, I invite you to try writing out your own self-forgiveness on shame. You might be surprised what you find.
We are not broken.
We are here, learning how to live again.
