Task 7: Focus on the Favours of Forgiveness
Let’s concentrate on the reasons why you should forgive people. List them within a 15-minute time frame and try to provide detail if you can. For example, ‘My anger and resentment towards my ex-husband sets a bad example to my son. By forgiving my husband, I will stop undermining the relationship between my son and his father; a relationship which is very important in these formative years.’
Forgiveness brings so many rewards to you and everyone around you
Reasons to Forgive
- To stop driving yourself mad
- Peace of mind
- Better mental, spiritual, and physical health
- The right thing to do for you and everyone around you
- Serenity
- Shed a weight that’s been hideous to carry
- Stop being so stuck
- Freedom from the pain
- Ability to move on
- A gigantic step in the right direction
- A small step for you, a leap (or giant one) for mankind
- Major growth
- A much richer self
- Enlightenment
- A good example to everyone around you
Add anything else that comes to mind for you – and share it around so others can benefit from your wisdom!
