forgiveness

🌻Forgiveness doesn’t always come naturally.  It’s a voluntary decision you have to make yourself.  Forgiving someone has the power to positively influence your health and well-being. 

😢It’s normal to be angry after you have been hurt by someone.  This anger, if not resolved, often turns into resentment and causes psychological stress which eventually affects our health.

🌤This is where forgiveness can help. Forgiveness doesn’t mean forgetting or excusing behavior that hurt you.  It means allowing yourself to let go of the hurt and resentment and not allowing it to define or take over your life.  It is for you, for your happiness. It means moving on. 

🌻Discussing your feelings with a friend, loved one or professional can be helpful.  Meditation and prayer have also been proven to help in the forgiveness process. 

🌸Some hurts are harder to forgive than others, but what they all have in common is that letting them go gives you a feeling of peace. 💕
