Practice forgiveness for inner peace from "summary" of Scattered Minds by Gabor Maté, MD
In our efforts to cultivate inner peace, forgiveness can be a powerful practice. When we hold on to resentment and anger towards others, we are only harming ourselves. These negative emotions create a constant state of tension and stress within us, leading to greater emotional turmoil. Forgiveness does not mean condoning the actions of others or forgetting the harm they may have caused. It is about releasing ourselves from the grip of negative emotions and freeing ourselves from the burden of carrying around resentment. By forgiving others, we are choosing to let go of the hurt and pain that we have been holding onto. When we forgive, we are not only offering compassion to others but also to ourselves. Forgiveness allows us to move forward with our lives without being weighed down by past grievances. It is a way of releasing ourselves from the past and opening up space for healing and growth. Forgiveness is a process that takes time and practice. It may not happen overnight, and it may require effort and commitment on our part. However, the benefits of forgiveness are immense. By choosing to forgive, we are choosing to prioritize our own well-being and inner peace.- Forgiveness is a gift that we give to ourselves. It is a way of freeing ourselves from the shackles of the past and allowing ourselves to experience a greater sense of peace and freedom. When we practice forgiveness, we are choosing to let go of the past and create space for a more peaceful and fulfilling future.
