How To Forgive Someone: 15 Positive Ways To Unburden Your Mind by catman: 8:47am On Jul 11, 2020
How to Forgive Someone. We’ve all been there… someone did something bad to us, and we’re mad. Steaming mad! But here’s how to forgive someone who has hurt you.

For some reason, forgiveness seems to be one of the most difficult things for a human being to do. It’s almost like people think that if they hold on to the resentment and dwell in the negativity, that somehow it will undo the past.

Well, let me tell you what you already know… it won’t. If you really want to hold on to your sanity, you need to know how to forgive someone.

As Buddha once said, “Holding on to resentment is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.” While that might sound ridiculous, think about it for a second. It’s true! What good does it do to hold on to the anger? You might think it’s doing some good like punishing the other person, but trust me, it’s not.

Why it’s so difficult to learn how to forgive someone

Why, oh why, is it so hard for us humans to forgive? Well, there are many reasons. But one of them is that we have expectations. Yes, you heard me. Expectations of other people’s behavior. And when those expectations are violated, then we feel hurt and offended.

I’m not saying that other people don’t do a lot of crappy things. They do. And they vary in degrees of seriousness. So, don’t think that I’m trying to tell you to stick around in an abusive relationship – I’m not. In situations like that, you just need to remove yourself.

But if the wrongdoing is not of gargantuan proportions, and it’s relatively mundane in the grand scheme of things, then you need to learn to let go and forgive.

Tips for learning how to forgive someone

I don’t have a magic wand that I can hand you for you to suddenly become a master at forgiveness like Mother Teresa. But, I do have some tips for how to forgive someone that will definitely help you move on and find happiness again.

#1 Think of them as a child. When a child does something wrong, we usually have the attitude of, “Well, I don’t like it, but they’re still learning so they’re doing the best they can.”

I hate to break it to you, but some adults aren’t very wise or mature. So, they are probably performing on the level of a child. That’s why you should think of them as someone who doesn’t know any better. That doesn’t mean you have to condone the negative behavior, however.
