Past version of you

✨ A client told me after our session:

“The session made me face aspects of my experience I couldn’t understand before, through a new lens.
I didn’t like what I saw, but I know I need to—and want to—work through it.
I don’t need to feel like I wasted 2 years. I understand a lot of the reasons now.”

Her reflection was powerful.

And I reminded her—be gentle with yourself.
Because being overly critical was the very pattern that led her to act that way in the first place.
The truth is, she was doing the best she could with what she knew then.

💡 One of the exercises I take clients through is this:

👉🏽 Imagine yourself standing in the present. Behind you is a past version of you, no longer who you are today. You turn to her, speak to her, forgive her, thank her for the lessons, and hug her before you release her.

Then, you look ahead. In the distance is your future self—wiser, more experienced, carrying knowledge you don’t yet have. You approach her, ask her what she knows, take her guidance, and hug her before you step back into the present.

🌙 Islam teaches us that Allah loves tawbah—turning back. Not perfection.

Looking back isn’t about dwelling in regret—it’s about learning, forgiving, and asking Allah to accept our turning.

Looking ahead is about trusting that Allah can shape us into someone stronger, wiser, and closer to Him.

That’s the mercy of growth.
