Brooke's Goal #2
I am happy to say that I completed my first goal! I am going to continue on with it each week. We'll have to see how it goes. Now on to my second one for this week. I read two separate articles, on the power of forgiveness and the health benefits of forgiving someone. These articles led me to my decision of forgiving someone this week. I won't share who, but it has been a long time coming. In the Glamour article, Lauren Beil wrote this: "Forgiving doesn't mean you have to accept that what happened was OK. You're just deciding that your health and happiness are more important than holding on to anger. It's a conscious choice to move forward. Every time those feelings arise, remind yourself that the past is the past, we're in the present, and it's time to be at peace." Could it really be this simple to feel healthier? I will let you know.
