LET FORGIVING FREE YOU

Prachi Rijhwani details pathways that could help you forgive others and be emotionally free

Forgiveness is a profound and transformative act that liberates us from the shackles of resentment and anger. It’s a gift we give ourselves, allowing us to heal and move forward from past hurts. However, forgiving others can be challenging, especially when wounds run deep. Here are some powerful ways to cultivate forgiveness and foster emotional healing.

Practise Empathy

Empathy is the cornerstone of forgiveness. Try to understand the perspective and emotions of the person who hurt you. It is said that hurt people hurt people. Often, people act from a place of their own pain or misunderstanding. Putting yourself in their shoes can soften your heart and make forgiveness more attainable.

Release Unrealistic Expectations 

Often our grievances stem from unmet expectations. It’s important to recognise that people are fallible, and no one can fulfil all our expectations. Letting go of these unrealistic ideals can make it easier to forgive when someone falls short.
