Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey everyone, Leo Weston here your daily dose of reality
with a side of humor. Ever feel like you're carrying
around this heavy backpack full of grudges and resentment. You
know that feeling when someone wrongs you and instead of
letting it go, it just festers, taking up space in
your mind and heart. Today we're diving into something vital,

(00:25):
the power of forgiveness and how to actually do it,
because holding on to anger is like drinking poison and
expecting the other person to die. Trust me, it doesn't
work that way, and the only one getting heard is you,
So why bother forgiving Well, Besides freeing yourself from the

(00:45):
emotional shackles, forgiveness can be a real game changer. It
doesn't mean condoning bad behavior, but rather choosing to release
the bitterness so you can move forward. It's about taking
back your power and reclaiming your peace of mind. Think
of it like this. Every time you'll hold on to anger,

(01:06):
you're given that person another piece of you, another chunk
of your energy. Forgiveness is saying no more, taking back
what's yours, and investing in your own well being. Now
I know what you're thinking. Easier said than done, right,
Forgiveness isn't about forgetting or pretending things didn't happen. It's

(01:27):
a conscious decision to let go of the hurt and
choose compassion, even if it feels impossible. It's not about them,
it's about you. Here are five key takeaways to help
you on your forgiveness journey. One. Acknowledge your feelings. Bottling
up anger and resentment only makes things worse. Allow yourself

(01:50):
to feel the pain, Acknowledge the hurt, and give yourself
permission to grieve the situation. Journaling can be a powerful
tool for pros assessing these emotions. Two. Separate the person
from the action. Remember that people are complex. While their
actions might have caused you pain, they aren't inherently bad.

(02:13):
Try to understand their perspective, even if you don't agree
with it. This doesn't excuse their behavior, but can help
create space for compassion. Three. Practice empathy. Put yourself in
their shoes. Think about what might be going on in
their life that could have led them to make that
hurtful decision. This isn't about excusing their actions, but about

(02:36):
trying to see the bigger picture and cultivate understanding. Four.
Focus on your growth. Use this experience as an opportunity
for personal growth. What lessons can you learn from this situation?
How can you become stronger and more resilient? Shifting your
focus from blame to learning can be incredibly empowering. Five

(03:02):
Let go with intention. Forgiveness is a conscious choice, not
a magical switch that flips overnight. It takes time and
effort practice letting go of the anger each day, even
if it's just for a few moments. Visualize releasing those
heavy feelings like balloons floating into the sky. Now, let

(03:25):
me paint you a picture. Imagine Sarah who's been carrying
around a huge grudge against her ex best friend Lisa.
They had a nasty falling out over something pretty trivial,
but Sarah held onto it for years, constantly replaying the
hurtful words in her head. She felt angry, hurt, and betrayed.

(03:47):
It was like living with this constant weight on her shoulders.
Then one day she realized that this anger was poisoning
her happiness. It was keeping her from making new friends
enjoying life to the fullest. That's when she decided to
try forgiveness. It wasn't easy at first. There were moments

(04:07):
when the old anger bubbled back up, but Sarah kept
practicing empathy. She started to understand why Lisa might have
acted the way she did, and she realized that holding
on to this grudge was only hurting her, not Lisa. Slowly,
but surely, Sarah felt the weight lifting. She wasn't forgetting

(04:28):
what happened, but she was choosing to release the bitterness
and focus on moving forward. Forgiving doesn't mean condoning hurtful behavior.
It means taking back your power and choosing peace over pain.
It's a journey, not a destination, and it takes courage,
self compassion, and a willingness to let go. Remember you

(04:52):
deserve to live a life free from the shackles of
anger and resentment. Take that first step towards forgiveness today.
Oh my friends, what are you waiting for? Start practicing
forgiveness today. It's not just about letting go of anger.
It's about reclaiming your peace of mind, unlocking your potential,

(05:12):
and living a happier, more fulfilling life. Don't forget to

these words. Leave a review if you enjoyed the conversation,
