Listen "#032 Forgiveness"
Episode Synopsis
Isn’t it a great way to start the year by Forgiving? Working through and letting go of that grudge we hold so tightly.When we vow not to forgive - it usually does us more harm. The grudge sits inside us as stuck energy - resentment, anger, vengeance. Forgiveness is not only relevant to big fall-outs where we stop talking to someone for years. It’s equally, if not more important, to small hurtful acts in close relationships. These are small so don’t get much attention. But with time, they add up, creating bitterness in the closest of relationships.In today’s episode we explore forgivenessWhy is it difficult?Myths related to forgivenessAnd how can we forgive?We share a practical tool that I’ve used for some micro-grudes. I found it refreshingly surprising how in just 30 minutes it shifted my anger to empathy and eventually acceptance. The tool - a simple two pager - is called Radical Forgiveness - a term coined by psychologist Colin Tippling. It works well with the smallest of grievances and big fall-outs.
