This is a continuation of Releasing Resentment

We need to change our attitude about the past.
To relase the past, we must be willing to forgive
The person that is the HARDEST TO FORGIVE is the one we NEED TO FORGIVE THE MOST.

We sometimes forget that those we need to forgive were also in pain.

Forgiveness is being able to hold ourselves and others in our heart regardless of what has happened.
Forgiveness reduces stress and positively affects the physical health of an individual.

Since many people hold on to the past, they put up barriers, thinking " I will be safe inside my little walls". The truth is you are just hurting your self, you are sabotaging your life. When something good happens you won't be able to see it, or if someone comes into you life that loves you, you will be to afraid of  "getting hurt" to see it, so that person just might walk out of your life.....

Put the past behind you, but don't forget, because if you forget we might become vulnerable to the situation again. But move forward with the knowledge you have, you can be wary, but take a chance.

Discharge any Angry Energy you may have: (A physical release is helpful without hurting or frightening yourself or anyone else)
Look underneath the Anger. (What are you really feeling? What do you want or need? What is your goal?
Decide what to do. (Find healthy ways to get your needs met.)

Forgiveness is a state of being, an attitude, and does not imply a specific action to be taken on the part of the one forgiving or the one being forgiven.

Anytime we find ourselves reacting instead of acting (or responding), we are bringing out past preceptions into the present.

**Releasing Resentment and Forgiveness is not a easy task, I know from personal experience, I still am working on it myself...but I am getting there....so can you!

I started my blog site with Releasing Resentment and Forgiveness, because that is the center of all things. Start dealing with these issues and the ripple effect with other issues will start and you can begin the healing process from the inside out.
