More Forgiveness
Reading one of my favorites...Dr. Caroline Leaf from her new book, Think, Learn, Succeed. As usual, it's full of ways to achieve mental health. These thoughts are from Chapter six.
"Forgiveness enables you to release toxic thoughts of anger, resentment, bitterness, shame, grief, regret, guilt, and hate. It disentangles you from the source of the issues, removing the negative energy from toxic thinking. As long as these unhealthy toxic thoughts dominate your mind, you will not be able to reconceptualize your memories - that is grown new, healthy thoughts Holding on to your pain can negatively impact your health, blocking your ability to succeed in life."
Now that's some strong words...that holding on to your grievance story can keep you from succeeding in life! I understand some things are very difficult to forgive, but if it - the story - keeps me from succeeding, then I want/need to let it go. Grace...
