Sometimes family gatherings can be stressful, especially if they're unresolved hurts or old lingering

resentments.

This quick guided exercise will assist you in moving past resentment and helping you put all

of your mental and emotional energy into what

you want most and not towards what you dread or feel anxious about.

One of the biggest energy zappers in our lives and the causes of stress is resentment.

So the use of forgiveness to let go of resentment helps.

It's not a religious exercise.

It's a practical method for maintaining your flow.

It's an effective tool for emotional release because it's based on the way your brain works

and it kind of initiates an interrupt or way to kind of change your programming

into the way that you've been thinking and feeling about situations and

people in the past. The practice of forgiveness will actually really help you experience a happier life and it's one of the best gifts you can give yourself.

So this exercise is designed to help you do that.

Bring to mind a person or group of people that you feel may have offended you,

or is the source of negative feelings of being hurt,

or deeply misunderstood.

And then use this next little bit, this affirmation,

by filling in the blanks with that person's name,

or you can assign a name to the group of people. it's just three statements so say this with

me and just fill in the blanks I forgive the source of this energy or

blank fill in the blank for affecting me negatively in any way.
