Practice forgiveness to let go of past resentments from "summary" of Hardwiring Happiness by Rick Hanson,PhD
In order to move on from past resentments, it is essential to practice forgiveness. When we hold onto grudges and grievances, we are carrying a heavy burden that weighs us down. This emotional baggage can have a negative impact on our well-being and happiness. By choosing to forgive those who have wronged us, we are releasing ourselves from the negative emotions that are holding us back. Forgiveness is not about condoning the actions of others or forgetting what has happened. It is about freeing ourselves from the pain and anger that we have been carrying. Forgiveness is a process that takes time and effort. It requires us to let go of our desire for revenge and to cultivate compassion for those who have hurt us. This does not mean that we have to reconcile with the person who has wronged us or even communicate with them. Forgiveness is a personal choice that we make for our own well-being. In practicing forgiveness, it is important to remember that we are not excusing the behavior of others or denying the impact that their actions have had on us. It is about acknowledging our own pain and choosing to release ourselves from it. By letting go of past resentments, we are creating space for healing and growth in our lives. We are freeing ourselves from the past and opening ourselves up to new possibilities. Forgiveness is a gift that we give to ourselves. It is a way of saying that we deserve to be happy and at peace, regardless of what has happened in the past. When we forgive, we are letting go of the power that the past has over us and choosing to focus on the present moment. This allows us to move forward with a greater sense of freedom and joy.
