The Little Book of Self-Care Quotes

“Forgive Someone Today, take the time to let someone know that you forgive her. This isn’t always an easy task, but forgiving someone for hurting you is important for your mind and body. When you hold on to grudges, you carry unwanted stress and anger. If you can’t say, “I forgive you” in person, write a letter or just say it out loud to the universe. Find your own way to let it go. You will feel it in your heart when you do.”

“Learning to trust again after being betrayed is one of the most difficult aspects of being human. However, you should know that trust is essential for forgiveness and healing. It is essential for you to be able to move on. It is essential for healthy self-esteem.”

“1. Whenever you slip into a place of pain and sadness, say a blessing for yourself. 2. Then say a blessing for the person who hurt you. Tell her (in your heart, if not out loud) that you will no longer take her or the memory of that incident any further into your life. 3. Then intentionally release the anger and hurt. Say an affirmation such as, “I release the anger I feel over this hurt.” Forgive, bless, and release. That’s the way to keep your heart and mind open.”
