Next step for healing.. Forgiveness

Forgiveness is often misunderstood. People like to think that forgiving someone means you have to rekindle what you had. But did you know you can forgive someone and never speak or see them again? Forgiveness isn’t for the other person; it’s for you. It’s about finding peace with the situation.

Have you ever forgiven someone and kept them in your life, but still felt anger, worry, or anxiety around them? That’s because forgiveness doesn’t mean things go back to how they were. It’s okay to set boundaries and protect your peace, even after you’ve forgiven someone.

Forgiveness is tough, but it’s necessary for your growth and freedom. When you forgive yourself and others, you’re ditching the baggage of past hurts and traumas that have been holding you back. It doesn’t mean you’re okay with what happened; it means you’re done letting it control you. By letting go of anger and resentment, you make room for healing, peace, and new possibilities. It's about taking back your power and focusing on the present and future instead of being stuck in the past. This journey takes patience and self-love, and you’ll have to face some tough emotions. But forgiveness is a gift to yourself, helping you move forward with a lighter heart and a clearer mind, opening the door to a more fulfilling and joyful life.
