I think forgiving oneself is that kind of a new start. And I sometimes suggest to people with whom I work in spiritual direction that when they make a commitment to a new way of being with some issue in their lives, they take on a behavior or carry some kind of symbol with them or have words that they repeat on a regular basis to remind them of the new life that they're taking on. It requires belief in the possibility of real change and a commitment to living it out.
