Let Go of Resentment: How Forgiveness Heals the Mind, Body & Soul

Over time you will become physically, emotionally and mentally sick. These negatives thoughts cause your body to secrete chemicals that will affect the major organs in your body. We heard the saying that resentment is like drinking poison and hoping the other person dies. You are only killing yourself if you harbor resentment and bitterness. You extend forgiveness for two basic reasons, the first is to let others know that you no longer hold any hostility for that person and second, to free yourself from the bondage of the self-defeating energy of resentment. Some of the best gifts that you can give to yourself are love, compassion, empathy, and forgiveness. Find time to heal your body and soul and find your purpose in life. Don?t think that you are just here, and things will just happen, and there is nothing that you can do about it. This is unproductive thinking. You can create the life you want and refuse to live in the past. If you do not allow yourself to move beyond the memories of the past you will rob yourself of the future. Your future can be great once you let go and be open to the love and freedom that exist in the universe. This might be very hard to do and sometimes you may need a professional or a coach to help you navigate through the baggage that is holding you hostage. It can be difficult, but it is not impossible.
