Someone shared this with me this morning and it resonated with me. I couldn't help thinking about the people who have hurt me over the years with their words, their actions, including physical abuse, neglect or just other things. I reflected on how I was able to forgive them. Forgiving them was difficult and in some cases took years, but it was worth it. I have come to realize that forgiving otheres is good for the soul.
Sometimes we offend others without realizing it. It could be you were unaware that your actions or words were offensive to them. Perhaps you were just being yourself, but someone got offended. We can't manage how people will take our words or actions especially if we know it was not done or said out of malice, and they can't manage how we will take theirs. Truth is people will interpret things based on their own personal experience. They can only assume/interpret your words or actions based on what that means to them. When I see someone eating, I used to think they are eating because they are hungry because thats the only time I eat. However I now know that people may eat for different reasons Some eat when they're stressed. Some eat for comfort. Some eat because they're trying to fill an emotional void.
Someone can say a something mean to me now and it does not offend me where as before I would feel bad. Now i just round my shoulder and think, "yes, and don't you mess with me". That is because I no longer choose to let peoples words dictate how I feel or live. I have come to understand that "feeling" is the secret to creating and manifesting.
We all crsate our reality with our words, thoughts, expectatuins, and yes with our feelings. The universe does not understand words, it responds to how you feel. So when you say I am feeling good but you are really feeling sad, the sadness is what you are broadcasting and that vibration is what creates more things for you to be sad about. It is impossible to vibration good feelings when you are feeling sad.
Most people's sadness comes from a spirit of unforgiveness. Not just towards others but towards themselves. They blame themselves for things that may not even be their fault. They take on the stress, unhappiness of things they may or may not have created and they end up living a miserable life. But they don't have to continue like that. Just as how they made themselves miserable they can undo it. It's so simple, yet most people can't accept the simplicity of the action. It's called forgiving and letting go. How do you do that? I am glad you asked. All you do is release the thought that has you bound. Replay the event the way you would have liked it to go. Hear the words you wanted to hear, and as you do, you will notice a shift in your feelings. You may even find yourself smiling. Release the things that has you wound up like a top.
What most people don't realize is that it is those negative feelings they hold on to that is the root cause of their unhappiness. It is what causes sickness and diseases in their body. When you hold on to those feelings it festers in the body and cause the body to malfunction. The brain releases different chemicals to try to stabilize your system but to no avail. It is the combination of those chemicals that creates what doctors call "cancer cells".
But if you forgive yourself and others you open the pathway to healthy living and happiness. The body becomes harmonious once again and the cells are able to function in the perfection they were created to function. You feel better which promotes good feelings which broadcasts as good vibrations which the universe in turn says, "you must like feeling good so here are some more things to feel good about."
So if anyone offended you in anyway, forgive them. If you are holding on to guilt, no matter how deserving you minght think it is, be kind to yoursel and forgive yourself. Life is so much better when you forgive and release. I'm just saying, #igotissues. What about you? 🦋
