We will be happy about our past and, in this way, we have an altogether better life by focusing on the present than we will ever have by focusing on the past in the future.
Forgiveness
Forgiveness means leaving our grudges and personal differences that we have with some people based on some events or behaviors that have harmed us or emotionally hurt us.
Improving Recommendations
- Just like other behaviors and thinking patterns, forgiveness can also be exercised and improved. We can develop a habit of forgiving by starting with small things that we feel bad about when others do to us and then gradually moving towards the bigger ones.
- When we understand that everyone here has a reason behind, it will be more forgiving towards the others because we cannot be angry with someone if we have a deep understanding of what they are going through.
- We need to develop unconditional positive regard and empathy towards other humans to forgive them for what they have done to us.
- We need to forgive people not because we want to forgive them but because not forgiving them is bad for us.
- You need to understand that whatever people have done to you, you cannot change the past, and constantly thinking about what they have done and how to seek revenge is bad for your mental health. You are focusing on the important energy that you have on a useless thing.
Conclusion
Forgiving is not easy. We need to free ourselves from the loop of pain that we are in and wasting our energy on. Living in the present makes us happy and our mental health better. Make yourself a priority and leave the bad feeling that you have for others. You deserve better than just bearing pain for others sins.
