Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey everyone, Leo Weston here and welcome back to rewire
my cravings Please. Today's topic forgiveness. Now, I know what
you might be thinking, forgiveness. That sounds like something my
grandma would talk about over a cup of camomeal tea.
But hear me out because forgiveness isn't just some dusty
(00:22):
old concept from the self help section of your local bookstore.
It's a superpower, folks, a real game changer in how
you navigate life, relationships, and even your own dang mind.
Ever felt like anger was this heavy weight you were
carrying around, like it was slowly sucking the joy out
(00:43):
of everything, holding on to grudges, replaying past hurts. It
doesn't just affect the other person, it messes with you.
You know that feeling when someone wrongs you and your
first instinct is to lash out, to hold on to
that bitterness like it's a life raft. Well guess what
that life raft is actually dragging you down? So how
(01:08):
do we break free from this cycle of anger and resentment?
Forgiveness isn't about condoning hurtful actions. It's about choosing to
release the grip those actions have on your heart and mind.
It's not a one time event. It's a process. Think
of it like peeling off layers of an onion. Each
layer represents another instance of pain or anger. With each
(01:32):
layer you shed, you feel lighter, freer, more open to
healing and growth. Here are five key takeaways to help
you on this journey. One, understand that forgiveness is for you,
not the other person. It's about taking back your power,
reclaiming your peace of mind, and breaking free from emotional chains.
(01:55):
Don't do it out of obligation or pity. Do it
because you deserve to feel light, free and whole. Two
it's okay to acknowledge the hurt. Bottling up your emotions
doesn't make them disappear, It just makes them fester. Allow
yourself to feel the pain, sadness, anger, whatever comes up.
(02:16):
Acknowledge it, name it, and then let it go. Three.
Practice empathy, even if it feels impossible. Try to understand
the other person's perspective, what might have led them to
act in that way. Not excusing their behavior, just trying
to see things from a different angle. This can help
(02:40):
break down walls of resentment and create space for compassion. Four.
Focus on letting go, not forgetting, forgiveness doesn't mean erasing
what happened. It means acknowledging the hurt, learning from it,
and choosing not to let it define you or your future.
Think about it like this. You wouldn't keep a photograph
(03:03):
of someone who hurts you prominently displayed in your home.
You might have it tucked away somewhere, but it doesn't
control your daily life. Five. Be patient with yourself. This
isn't a quick fix. Forgiveness is a journey, not a destination.
There will be ups and downs, moments where you feel
(03:24):
like you're making progress, and moments where you stumble. Don't
beat yourself up, just keep taking small steps forward. Now,
let me paint you a picture. Imagine Sarah. She worked
hard on her dream project for months, pouring her heart
and soul into it, but then, right before the big presentation,
(03:46):
a colleague stole her ideas and presented them as their own.
Can you feel Sarah's anger, that burning resentment that wants
to explode. Sarah could choose to hold onto that pain,
let it fester and sabotage future projects out of spite,
or she could choose forgiveness. It wouldn't be easy. It
(04:09):
would mean acknowledging her hurt, facing the betrayal, and choosing
not to let that experience define her. But with each
step toward forgiveness, Sarah would reclaim her power. She could
channel her anger into fuel for even better projects, into
resilience that made her stronger. Forgiveness wouldn't erase what happened,
(04:31):
but it would free Sarah to move forward, unburdened by
resentment and open to new opportunities. So here's the deal.
Forgiveness isn't about condoning hurtful actions. It's about choosing to heal, grow,
and reclaim your peace of mind. It's a journey, not
a destination. But trust me, every step you take towards
(04:54):
forgiveness is a step towards a lighter, freer, more fulfilling life.
Now I want to hear from you. Share this episode
with someone who could use a little reminder about the
power of forgiveness. Leave a review telling us what resonated
with you, or share your own experiences in the comments.
(05:14):
Let's keep the conversation going until next time. Remember, choose forgiveness,
