The process begins by forgiving ourselves: our mistakes, feelings, and habits. From this perspective, everything is equally forgivable, whether it’s our laziness, self-hatred, impatience, large thighs, or tendency to overeat. Just the willingness to be mindful of what is calling for forgiveness is a radical step. It can be very helpful to make a list of the things you find hardest to forgive yourself for and to use the list in the following exercise.

Observing your experience: your thoughts, feelings, sensations, and perceptions.

Being able to describe that experience.

Acting with awareness—deliberately and thoughtfully, rather than on autopilot.

Being nonjudgmental of your experience.

Being nonreactive to your experience, able to withhold immediate reactions (like lashing out).

With diligent practice, we begin to realize that forgiveness is a unique form of nourishment, a way of providing ourselves and others a spaciousness around our conflicts and difficulties. We no longer feel as alone, stuck, or doomed to fail. The resulting peace of mind provides an inner fullness that no amount of food can ever offer.
