Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.

Is the resentment you're holding onto right now causing you more pain or more suffering than the original harm?

I started thinking about this a few years ago when I had some kind of than the original harm.

I started thinking about this a few years ago when I had some kind of low-level grudges.

And I remember just that kind of negative denseness in my life, those grudges that I held when I thought of them or when I saw the people or had interactions with the people or heard of the people that caused me that resentment. I know that it lowered my overall vibration. And look, frankly, it wasn't doing me any

Now this is not gaslighting, right? This is not, oh, just forgive the person who did the wrong thing. No,

but it's looking at how the event, how the original harm is showing up in your life and seeing

what it's worth to you, seeing whether or not that grudge, so to speak, is adding value or
