Have you ever had a moment in life with either a family member, friend, or colleague and swear that you will never forgive them for what was said or the actions they took towards you? Who do you think it’s hurting? Do you truly think they care that you haven’t forgiven them, especially since in most cases you haven’t either talked or seen each other for years? Possibly. They may be feeling their own guilt. Or they may have moved on leaving you holding onto the hurt and guilt.
Whether you believe in forgiveness or not, the medical community believes that by holding on to this space of ill will feelings hinders your health directly. The fact is, that there is medical proof that those who chose to forgive and move past have led much healthier and happier lives. While those who have not let go tend to experience one medical issue after another including but not limited to:
High blood pressure
Heart disease
Anxiety
Depression
There are times we need to decide whether to continue down the road of hurt and guilt, or simply learn to let go. Not quite sure how to do this? Here some tips that might help:
Try being empathetic by putting yourself in the other person's shoes.
Look back on those times where you’ve hurt someone, and they forgave you. How did that make you feel?
Start journaling your feelings and why you are having a hard time letting go.
Keep in mind that forgiveness takes time and baby steps. You may have to forgive over and over before you can truly let go.
Is it time for you to start forgiving? Letting go of the past to move forward with renewed energy to create a better present and future? Don’t you believe your health is worth it?
By learning to let go today, you allow yourself space for bigger and better things. Start today and learn to let go and practice forgiveness.
Here’s to your health.
