We’ve all made “bad” decisions — moments where we said or did something that hurt someone else… or ourselves.

But here’s the thing: most of us were never taught what to do after.

Instead, we carry it. We stew in guilt. We make ourselves wrong.

And that shame? It quietly buries our life force energy — the same energy that’s meant to move us toward love, creativity, and connection.

I was talking recently with someone I love dearly, and he was still carrying pain from a moment years ago when he lost his temper with his child.

He hadn’t forgiven himself.
And it was heartbreaking to see how much regret was still trapped in that one memory.

Here’s the truth: every “mistake” is energy trying to move.

Just like learning to dance, drive, or walk — it’s messy at first. You wobble, fall, over-correct. But ideally, you don’t make it mean something about your worth. You don’t take it personally. You just learn, adjust, and try again.

So if you’ve made a move that still brings up shame or regret, try this:

1 — Get curious. What did you feel in your body at that moment?
2 — Feel the energy. Can you sense what was trying to move through you?
3 — Go back in time. When else have you felt this same sensation? (Likely in your childhood)
4 — Cultivate awareness. What story did you start believing about yourself? (This is often where we form a “core wound”: I’m not lovable. I’m not worthy.)
5 — Forgive and support. Breathe. Forgive yourself. Remember the truth: you are lovable. You are worthy. You always were.

And the more you reclaim that truth, the more your energy begins to move again — toward the life, love, and creativity that want to flow through you.

Hope this helps you free up some energy today. The world needs your full, radiant life force.
