"We follow up on the process of mourning with self-forgiveness. Turning our attention to the part of the self which chose to act in the way that led to the present situation, we ask ourselves, **“When I behaved in the way which I now regret, what need of mine was I trying to meet?”** I believe that human beings are always acting in the service of needs and values. This is true whether the action does or does not meet the need, or whether it’s one we end up celebrating or regretting." --- **Tags** -- [[quotes]], [[personal-needs]], [[judgment]], [[self-reflection]], [[mindfulness]], [[asking-questions]] **Source** -- [[251115105628 - B - Nonviolent Communication]] Also, -- [[202308180914 — AtN — Asking questions can be a superpower]]
