I know, this maybe a bit strong. But it’s probably not far from the truth.
If you’re stuck in unforgiveness, you are probably experiencing a toxic brew of guilt, shame, self-judgment, and self-sabotage.
You may not even realize that you’re being so hard on yourself because you decided to withhold forgiveness.
What to do instead: Know that it doesn’t have to be this way. The way out of this awful trap is to simply love yourself just as you are right now. Put your a hand on your heart and with reverence and compassion, say to yourself:
“Though I am struggling to let go of this hurt, I fully love and accept myself just as I am.”
This radical self-acceptance will begin the healing journey of learning to let go hurts that may have been lodged in your soul for many years.
