Ep #211 - You have decided to forgive, so it just happens, right? HAHA & LOL!! Forgiveness is a journey. Not of a 1000 miles because there is not a preconceived set number of steps, or days, or acts of kindness that can "make" forgiveness happen. It's a mutual connection that fosters understanding, empathy, and love and it takes the time it takes.

Forgiveness is a transformative process that promotes emotional well-being, improves physical health, enhances relationships, fosters personal growth, and promotes social harmony. It is important to acknowledge and process emotions such as fear, anger, and sadness in the forgiveness process.

We talk about the NLP process called perceptual positions and how it can help someone process fear, anger, and sadness and promote empathy and understanding in the forgiveness process. We also discuss the concept of moral courage and the importance of taking responsibility for one's own emotions and reactions in the forgiveness process.

The components of forgiveness include acknowledging the hurt, letting go of negative emotions, cultivating empathy and understanding, taking responsibility for one's own emotions and reactions, and making a conscious choice to forgive. These components are all important in achieving forgiveness.

Strategies for achieving forgiveness include seeking support, engaging in self-care activities, considering the benefits of forgiveness, practicing empathy and compassion, and taking time. It is important to have open and honest communication, empathy and understanding, and a willingness to let go of negative emotions in the forgiveness process.

Overall, forgiveness is a complex and challenging process that requires empathy, compassion, and moral courage. Through the forgiveness process, we can find peace, healing, and understanding in the face of difficult and traumatic experiences.

Just hit play and let's dive in with our open minds, hearts, and energies bringing everyone into the fold - you are in the right place, at the right time...right now.

It is time. It has been time. To live is to shine. Step into the SUN.

Stand up, step forward, raise your hand - it's your turn, head the call!
