Release your grip.
In our spiritual growth we often have to “”let it go”. We often hear to “let it go”, and “move on with your life”. Easier said than done. How do you get over the pain of betrayal or the slights of injustice? These seem like insurmountable obstacles to overcome. Here are 3 positive steps to help you begin down a healthy road:
3 STEP PLAN TO “GET YOUR MOVE ON”
1) Forgive – Try to forgive, not matter what your heart feels. Forgive not for the other person but for you own mental health and happiness. You can never move on when you have a firm grip on anger or revenge, even if he/she “has it coming”. Hold you hand over your heart and know that we all are flawed and this is more about the other person’s issue than yours.
2) Offer thanksgiving for being able to participate in your school of life either to love or learn. I know that this offering of thanksgiving is probably the furthest thing from your mind but it will work as a step-stone for you. Remember each situation brings us something, some opportunity to learn. Try to get your mind around forgiveness until your heart catches up.
3) Visualize – see your future confident with your new learning that you are a better more loving person for having “lived” through this incident with grace. With time and healing you will eventually be able to move on seeing this incident in the rear view mirror as a “win” in your column.
