Learning How to Let Go for Real Growth
Forgiveness? It’s something we talk about a lot. It seems to me it’s a truly powerful thing for helping us grow inside. It’s key for our feelings and our minds. Frankly, carrying old hurts? Those grudges or anger? They feel like a heavy weight, don’t they? That stuff just stops us from doing well. Letting go isn’t just about the other person. Nope. It’s about setting ourselves free. Free from all those negative feelings. Those feelings really can drag us down. This path towards forgiving? It can totally change things. It helps us get a better mindset. And feel better emotionally.
Let’s start by getting what forgiveness actually is. It’s not about saying what someone did was okay. Not at all. Instead, it means knowing you were hurt. Then choosing to let go of that angry feeling. This change in how you see things? It can really make a difference for how you feel. Studies show forgiving others helps lower anxiety. It also lowers depression. And stress levels too. When we forgive, we open a door. A door to healing. To feeling emotionally free. This helps us grow. It helps us become who we are meant to be.
One good way to try forgiving is by thinking things over. This means taking some time. Time to really understand how the bad thing made you feel. Writing things down can really help here. Like in a journal. When you write out your feelings? It gives you a place to handle the pain. You might write about what happened. How you felt about it. What you learned from the whole mess. This exercise can make your feelings clearer. It helps clear the way for forgiveness.
You might also think about the other person’s side. This can be super hard. Especially when you still feel the hurt strongly. But trying to understand the person who hurt you? It can shift how you think. Knowing their reasons or struggles doesn’t make what they did right. But it can make them seem more human. When you do this, you might find it easier. Easier to just let that anger go.
There’s another really important part. It’s forgiving yourself. A lot of people struggle with this one. Forgiving themselves for past mistakes. Or maybe things they think they failed at. To work on forgiving yourself? Start by seeing your flaws. Everyone messes up sometimes. Knowing this can feel freeing. It might help to write a letter to yourself. Say how you feel guilty. Or ashamed. Then end it with kindness. A message of understanding for yourself. This can help you feel closer to yourself. It really helps feelings heal.
Mindfulness practices can lend a hand too. When you’re mindful, you try to be right here. In the moment. And you look at your feelings. Without judging them. Things like meditation. Or deep breathing. They can calm your mind down. They make space for thinking. By being mindful, you can see your feelings more clearly. And understand why forgiving is so important.
It’s super important to remember this. Forgiveness is a process. It’s not a one-time fix. Sometimes, letting go takes a long time. Be kind to yourself about it. Let yourself feel things. Go at your own speed. Being around people who support you helps loads. Sharing your story with friends or family? It can give you encouragement. It helps you stay on track.
