I Want To Forget And Forgive But I Am Not Able To. What Should I Do?

Loneliness

When someone we love hurts us it feels so bad that don’t know what to do next. We often ask ourselves that should we forget everything and move on. But what we miss is to forget and to start a new beginning we need to have the clarity to forgive that person as well.

No matter how good our intentions can be or how much we put our efforts at some moment we can hurt someone close to us. Even if we try our 100% our one mistake can make the other one sad.

We’ll feel hurt by those we trust and love, too.

Things will get complicated when you feel hurt and unable to forget. You will be hurting from inside so much that at some point people can easily figure out your state even if you try hard to hide your pain. You will grieve and mourn your pain. It will be really difficult to move on and forget everything that had happened to you.

If you want to start a fresh life with happiness, ask these questions to yourself.

Why forgiveness is important?

Forgiving doesn’t mean that you are going to tolerate violence and disrespect. Even if you have forgiven someone completely doesn’t mean you have to keep them in your life forever. There is a famous quote “Resentment is like drinking poison and hoping it will kill your enemies.” This quote is a clear example that if you are taking all the burden on yourself by not forgiving then it does more harm to you rather to the other person. Studies show that people who tend to forgive have a better lifestyle and a peaceful mind. Always remember you are not forgiving someone else but yourself.

Now next question you should ask yourself is, why forget?

There is a very popular quote by buddha “Holding onto anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else: You are the one who gets burned.” This quote simply means that until and unless you won’t forget what happened, you won’t be able to move on and start fresh. Holding onto something forever is not right for your emotional wellness and mental health. And remember you are forgetting and forgiving yourself. This is a gift of mental, spiritual, and emotional wellness freedom.

Forgiving someone else is a secondary thing to do. But first, you need to forgive yourself. Even though we haven’t done anything wrong we intend to blame ourselves for whatever has happened to us. But we need to understand that we are not to blame. You are the victim here and are just hurt.

Now that you have forgiven yourself it’s time to forgive the other person who has hurt you. To attain mental peace and balance. Even though it will take time and a lot of practice don’t give up and try hard to forget all the bad things that had happened to you.

After all this hard work you will realize the amazing change and glow that you never had before or might have lost it somewhere. You are becoming a better version of yourself every day while challenging yourself to do better and improve. And if you still feel some pain, write your thoughts in a journal and let out everything you feel. It will help you relax your mind and ease the pain in your heart.

The only way you’ll soothe pain, for yourself and others is by staying open and willing to the miracle of healing happen.
