You just might be surprised at the role forgiveness can play in Anxiety & Panic Disorder.

Now I want to ask you some questions…

Do you hold resentment against someone? A grudge? Do you find your self feeling bitter, angry or upset often towards this person?

If so, are you struggling to let go of these feelings?

I can assure you, no matter what the circumstances, if you are holding onto these negative feelings, you are hurting yourself greater then you are hurting the person for holding onto these feelings.

Heck, I’ve been guilty of this in the past! And when I choose to let go, I felt a huge weight lift from my shoulders. I didn’t feel so tense anymore, and I began to feel happier on the inside.

Of course, I am not suggesting you brush off completely what this person has done to you to make you feel this way. I will show you how I have learnt to let go of these resentments and anger.

First off, I deal with these emotions by writing everything down that I feel towards this person, what they did to me, and why I’m angry and hurt about it. I write down every word I can think of that describes how I feel towards to them. I then read what I wrote and then tear the piece of paper up and throw it out.

From that moment on I tell myself I will not revisit these feelings. They are dealt with I will now let go.

Depending on the circumstances of the situation, I may call the person, visit them, or say nothing at all. It strongly depends on how the person is connected to me.

The power of forgiveness in its time can be very self testing and difficult, but when you can learn to let go and forgive you show amazing strength and integrity. You will ultimately self benefit and become the bigger person.

Try it, and feel the great weight lift from your shoulders too!
