Forgive, forget and flourish.
To carry a grudge is a heavy load. Just the thought of past pains triggers a whole physiological response that pulls your energy into a downward spiral. Forgiveness is how you free yourself from this cycle and move forward.
Choose to turn over the proverbial new leaf and grow again. Let go of the anger, resentment and disappointment that weighs you down. Feel how liberating it is to release these negative thought patterns. It’s a fantastic way to lighten up!
- Make a list of all of the anger and pain that keeps you stuck. Commit to releasing this energy once and for all. Take three deep breaths and ask for peace to fill this space. (You can bun your list if you’d like to add int a symbolic ritual of release.
- As you move forward, pay attention to your thoughts and emotions. Should you feel the anger or pain resurface remind yourself you are releasing this pattern. Take several deep breaths and let it go again (and again). Feel the peace return and know that you are free to choose the thoughts that direct your emotions and experiences.
“For every minute you remain angry,
you give up 60 seconds of peace of mind.”
