| Forgiveness for inner peace. |
What does it mean? LET GO of a resentment, grudge, or bitterness toward someone who has hurt you. You are NOT justifying actions.
Think of a resentment as a HEAVY ROCK pressing down on your chest. Imagine how wonderful it will feel to let that rock fall away from you. Holding on to a resentment is hurting YOU more than the other person, or certainly the situation which you resent.
Forgiving helps YOU feel better, inside and out!
Forgiving frees YOUR time.
Forgiving helps YOUR heart, health, and mind.
In fact, the Mayo Clinic even has an informative article all about forgiveness, including how to reach a state of forgiveness, and more!
Other habits that can help you in similar ways include:
