Forgiveness is sort of a backwards concept, like phlogiston (which ~= "the absence of oxygen"). Forgiveness ~= "the absence of resentment". So if you don't resent in the first place, then you can reach a state of "forgiveness" without actually performing an act of "forgiving".
Without forgiveness there's a way I can get stuck and becoming unwilling to make decisions that might be later regarded as mistakes. With forgiveness in the picture, I do the best I can, take chances, and maybe "make mistakes". Afterwards, if needed, I forgive myself and move on.

This whole loop hasn't become fully embodied for me yet, but I have a sense that it's really important.

And in case this seems too abstract or something, it need not be. What are you being hard on yourself for right now? What am I being hard on myself for right now? Ok, so now we can do the thing. Close our eyes, take a moment for ourselves, and forgive ourselves.
