Confession

They say that confession is good for the soul. But how to go about it?

Well, find a quiet place to give yourself space and time. Start to confess to yourself and listen with attention. If God is anywhere, God is inside you. So the two of you team up to figure out how to forgive yourself. This is important since no one likes a sullen martyr.

Forgiving yourself doesn’t require self-flagellation—that’s way too Medieval. But it does require some form of positive personal transformation. And, after all, who doesn’t want to be a better human being, even by a little bit.
