A Lesson on ”The Benefits of Forgiveness”

"Holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die." Do you hold resentment towards someone and just can't seem to let it go? Do you relive the experience that caused you pain thinking that perhaps the more I think about this (over and over again), I will then find the solution to why this happened? If this is you, then you're in the right place. Today's episode of Connect Back In podcast is all about forgiveness. We've been taught that then when we forgive someone, we are 'letting them off the hook', and we should maintain our resentment because, "how dare they do that to us." In reality, we don't realize the pain we're causing ourselves by holding onto this negative thought pattern. Today we talk through why forgiveness is so important, what the process of forgiveness looks like, and some initial steps you can take to begin to release your resentful feelings. My hope is that you begin to take back your own power, and begin to see that you can choose again, in a way that will serve you better and bring you peace. Enjoy!
