Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, beautiful souls, welcome back to self love affirmations for women.
I'm your girl, Rachel Carter, here to sprinkle a little
love and wisdom into your day. Now. Today we're diving
deep into something that can feel really tough, but trust me,
it's so worth it. Practicing forgiveness and letting go of
those pesky grudges. Ever felt like you were carrying around

(00:20):
a backpack full of anger, resentment, or bitterness. You know
that feeling when someone hurts you and instead of just
moving on, you find yourself replaying the moment over and
over in your head. Yeah, we've all been there. But
here's the thing. Holding onto those grudges isn't doing you
any favors. It's like drinking poison and hoping it will
hurt the other person. It actually just keeps you stuck

(00:41):
in a cycle of negativity and pain. So how do
we break free from this self imposed prison? Well, I'm
here to tell you that forgiveness is not about condoning
hurtful actions. It's about freeing yourself from their grip. It's
about making the conscious choice to release the anger and resentment,
allowing yourself to move forward with peace and lightness. Now,
before you go thinking this is some airy fairy concept,

(01:04):
let me tell you forgiveness takes work. It's a journey,
not a destination. Sometimes it feels like trying to climb
Mount Everest in flip flops, but trust me, the view
from the top is worth it. Here are five key
takeaways to help you on your path to forgiveness. One
Acknowledge the hurt. The first step is recognizing that you've
been hurt. Don't try to bury your feelings or pretend

(01:25):
they don't exist. Allow yourself to feel the pain, anger,
and resentment. It's okay to be angry. Bottling it up
just makes things worse. Two. Understand their perspective. This doesn't
mean excusing their behavior, but trying to understand where they
were coming from. Maybe they were hurting too, or maybe
they made a mistake out of ignorance. Seeing things from

(01:46):
their point of view can help soften the anger you're
holding onto. Three. Practice empathy. Imagine yourself in their shoes.
How would you feel if you were in that situation.
Empathy doesn't mean condoning what happened. It means acknowledging their
humanity and trying to understand their motivations. Four. Let go
of expectations. Holding onto grudges often stems from expecting an apology,

(02:08):
a change in behavior, or even revenge, But those expectations
can keep you trapped in the cycle of anger. Instead,
focus on your own healing and growth. Let go of
the need for things to be fair or for them
to take responsibility. Five. Choose forgiveness. This is the hardest part,
but it's also the most liberating. Forgiveness isn't about forgetting

(02:29):
what happened. It's about releasing the power that those events
have over you. It's a gift you give yourself, not them. Now,
let me paint you a picture. Imagine your best friend
accidentally bumps into you and spills your coffee all over
your brand new white shirt right before a big presentation.
It was a complete accident, but at the moment, you're fuming.
You feel betrayed, frustrated, and maybe even a little humiliated.

(02:52):
But what if instead of holding onto that anger, you
looked at the situation with a little more compassion. Maybe
your friend is having a stressful day, or maybe they
were just distracted. Could you find it in yourself to
forgive them knowing it was an accident? Could you laugh
it off and say no worries, it happens. See what
I mean. Forgiveness doesn't mean condoning bad behavior. It means

(03:14):
choosing to let go of the negativity and move forward
with grace. It's about reclaiming your power and refusing to
be held hostage by anger and resentment. So, beautiful souls,
remember this. You are worthy of love and happiness, and
holding on to grudges only holds you back. Take a
deep breath, choose forgiveness and watch your life transform. And remember,

(03:35):
if your feeling stuck or need some extra support on
your journey to self love, don't hesitate to reach out.
We're in this together. Share this episode with a friend
who might benefit from hearing these words. Leave me a
review telling me what resonated with you most, and keep
coming back for more daily doses of self love wisdom.
