The old saying “forgiveness and forgot” is something that we have probably all heard several times. From our childhood to adolescent years and then in adulthood, every person encounters a mixture of human emotions. We probably all brought ourselves into a situation in which we either have to say or hear: “I’m sorry.” But how did those words resonate with you? Once spoken, have you just forgotten the misconduct and continue? Or have you held that debt, frustration, anger, deep sadness or years and years? At a certain point that pent -up emotion will come back to bite you.
Forgiveness and let go
Holding emotions is unhealthy. That is a basis of psychology. Understanding human emotions and learning to be in order with how we feel liberating. That deep concept helps us not only to deal with the daily struggles that we encounter, but also the unexpected things that pop up and often throw us for a loop. If those emotions are all driven internally, chances are that we are aware of it and they can even be aware of their roots. Does she come from a youth trauma or sorrow about an inexplicable loss? But consciousness is only one small piece of the puzzle. Then forgiveness comes and then let go. Those two steps are much easier said than done.
Many people will say that it is easier to forgive someone else than to forgive yourself. The other person apologizes and walks away. Although real forgiveness may not be immediately, a healthy person is able to slowly let go of the pain and anger she retains, until their story is a thing of the past. However, if you are the one who causes the pain, chances are that you have held those negative feelings much longer than necessary. You have apologized and walked away, and the other person probably let the negative feelings go to you. But do you have?
Anticipate
It is time to dreden all those pent -up negative emotions that you have held and view them one by one. Holding these memories and negative associations is like sticking to a offensive past. The past has happened. And it didn’t happen for nothing. There is a good chance that this hurtful experience ensured that you looked at life situations differently. Can you see the good in it? Can you leave the past in the past and look forward to the time you got today? Instead of spending your time focused on what happened to you or what grief you have caused, chip away to negativity. View yourself with a smile. Look forward to a clear, new day with a lighter, happier you.
