Affirmation for April 9, 2015: Forgiving Others
It's toughest to forgive ourselves. So it's probably best to start with other people. It's almost like peeling an onion. Layer by layer, forgiving others, you really do get to the point where you can forgive yourself.Patty DukeThought of The Day:Being forgiving not only helps you to restore certain relationships to a positive state, or to remove yourself from other ones completely, but it also helps you become a better person for yourself.
Being forgiving is good for your body, with the power to lower your blood-pressure and heart rate, while also providing stress relief. It also helps develop a more positive outlook on the world, and a better understanding of your place within it.
One of the most difficult steps in initiating forgiveness is letting go of the anger that we feel - but once we do, we quickly see the benefits of not harboring such feelings. And as we learn from this process, we begin develop relationships that are more suited to the best parts of our own character.Have a forgiving day!TeamDS
