Forgiveness is a form of selfcare from "summary" of Dare to Forgive by Edward M. Hallowell
Forgiveness is a form of selfcare. When we choose to forgive someone who has wronged us, we are actually choosing to take care of ourselves. It may seem counterintuitive at first, but forgiveness is not about letting the other person off the hook. It is about freeing ourselves from the burden of anger, resentment, and bitterness that we carry when we hold onto grudges. By holding onto grudges, we are only hurting ourselves. The negative emotions that we harbor can have a detrimental impact on our mental and physical well-being. When we choose to forgive, we are choosing to let go of those negative emotions and move forward with our lives. It is a way of releasing ourselves from the emotional baggage that weighs us down. Forgiveness is not always easy, especially when the hurt is deep. It requires us to confront our pain and acknowledge the harm that has been done to us. But by choosing to forgive, we are taking a step towards healing and growth. It is a form of selfcare that allows us to break free from the cycle of anger and resentment that can keep us stuck in the past. When we forgive, we are not saying that what the other person did was okay. We are simply choosing to let go of the negative emotions that are holding us back. It is a way of reclaiming our power and taking control of our own emotional well-being. Forgiveness is a gift that we give to ourselves, a way of nurturing our own hearts and souls. In the end, forgiveness is a form of selfcare that can bring us peace, freedom, and healing. It is a way of releasing ourselves from the chains of the past and opening ourselves up to a brighter future. It is a choice that we make for ourselves, a way of honoring our own well-being and happiness. When we choose to forgive, we are choosing to take care of ourselves in the most profound and transformative way possible.
