Why do you want to give forgiveness to past wrongs you perceive that people have done against you? According to the Law of Attraction what we think about we attract into our lives. So, if you forgive others and yourself of past wrongs, that forgiveness will attract to you more forgivable people and situations about yourself.
With unwavering belief that forgiveness can heal relationship wounds, in our thoughts and actions, we can effect positive change. By effecting positive change, we can live a happier life.
Remember, whatever we think about and feel towards others becomes our reality. What kind of a reality would YOU like to live? A happy reality? If so, by changing your beliefs and forgiving yourself and others, you can bring happy feelings into your consciousness. When you feel happy you become that life form and behave as a happy person behaves.
What can you do to check your willingness factor to forgive? Here are some ideas:
- Notice what you are thinking and saying about the behavior done by the other person. Or, if you are working to forgive yourself, notice if you are allowing yourself to be forgiven.
- If you are involving another person or yourself in a “no-win” contest with you being unworthy of forgiving yourself or, of believing that forgiving the other person is beneath you, this is an attitude you can change. To change from believing forgiveness is impossible to possible, consider doing the following:
- Close your eyes and relax.
- Imagine you can see a gauge in your mind. Use it to measure how strongly you feel about forgiving past wrongs. Focus on making the situation “win-win” instead of “win-lose” where only one person emerges as the victor. We all can be forgiven on some level of attitude.
- Ask yourself, “From 0-10, with zero meaning I feel no benefit to forgiving past wrongs and 10 feeling I strongly believe there is benefit to forgiving past wrongs, how strongly do I believe by forgiving this past wrong the ultimate end result will be that I feel happy?”
- If you feel unhappy refusing to forgive, but want to feel happy about forgiving a past wrong, recognize this idea as a changeable belief. Commit to seeing something forgivable about the person or yourself a little bit at a time until you feel you’ve a harmonious feeling forgiveness level for the situation.
- Remember, we can think any thought we desire to think. Focus on what you CAN think and do to make things better. Watch things change a little at a time as forgiveness improves your life and the life of others.
