Forgiveness Therapy (The wonder of forgiving)

1. Forgiveness means bending without breaking, being strong to withstand the heavy weight of injury but resilient enough to recover.

2. Self-forgiveness is the only way to remain happy &healthy. Unforgiveness is the greatest cause of sickness because a sour mind creates a sour body.

3. You’re right to feel sad, betrayed, anger & resentful when you’ve been injured. Understand, accept & express your feelings. Pushing them below the surfaces only means they will erupt in another place, at another time.

4. Sometimes, people hurt you because, like you, they are learning & growing. Forgive their incompetence, their humanness.

5. When you’re having a difficult time forgiving, recall a moment when you want to be forgiven. Offer the other person what you want to receive.

6. Forgiveness takes practices. Start with small hurts & work your way up to the big ones.

7. Forgiveness is not something you do for others; it is something you do for yourself. Give yourself the gift of forgiveness.Something when we’ve been wronged, bruised, anger or betrayed, it is difficult to forgive. It is easier said than done. But too much anger or resentment makes it hard for us to move on/ all the pain we refuse to let go will bury us in a place, we shouldn’t get struck in. After the hurt and anger, should come healing, &healing can only take place if we allows ourselves to forgive. Real forgiveness is LETTING GO.
