Practice forgiveness and let go of resentment from "summary" of The Healthy Mind Toolkit by Alice Boyes,PhD
Forgiveness is a powerful tool for enhancing mental health and well-being. When we hold onto resentment, we carry a heavy burden that can weigh us down and prevent us from fully enjoying life. By practicing forgiveness, we release ourselves from this burden and open ourselves up to greater peace and happiness. Letting go of resentment doesn't mean that we condone or forget the hurtful actions of others. Instead, it means that we choose to release the negative emotions that are holding us back. This can be a challenging process, but it is essential for our own emotional well-being. One way to practice forgiveness is to try to understand the perspective of the person who hurt us. This doesn't mean that we need to agree with their actions, but it can help us to see things from their point of view and develop empathy for their situation. By doing this, we can begin to let go of our anger and resentment. Another helpful strategy is to focus on the benefits of forgiveness for ourselves. Holding onto resentment can have a negative impact on our mental and physical health, while forgiveness can lead to greater emotional resilience and overall well-being. By recognizing these benefits, we can motivate ourselves to let go of resentment and move forward in a positive way. In the end, practicing forgiveness is a gift that we give to ourselves. By releasing the burden of resentment, we free ourselves to live more fully in the present moment and to cultivate greater peace and happiness in our lives. It is a process that takes time and effort, but the rewards are well worth it.
