How to Forgive
Forgiving means learning to move past what went wrong. When we’re angry, frustrated, or sad, we often focus on the negative feelings from the event that hurt us. When someone hurts us, we might spend years wondering if we’ll ever get an apology or make things right. But waiting for time to heal won’t make us feel better. It actually prolongs the healing of our wounds. It’s harder, but better, to be direct and fully forgive, so we can move on to better things.
Affirmations can help us overcome insecurities and negative feelings caused by past mistakes. To forgive ourselves, we must believe that we have learned from our errors. Using positive affirmations to change our thinking and let go of negative memories and unhelpful thoughts is very effective in healing and renewing us. Healing through affirmations helps us move forward with a more positive mindset.
If you can have a healthy conversation with the person who hurt you, that’s best. But it can make things worse to go back into bad situations that hurt us before. So be careful about expecting apologies or talking to the person directly for forgiveness. We might think we need closure, but it’s often hard to find. It might be better to find closure on your own by forgiving the person without talking to them.
