Goal for the Day: Practice Forgiveness

The changing of the year is the perfect time to let go of negative feelings and start anew with a sense of peace. Throughout the last 365 days, we’ve all probably encountered situations wherein we’ve felt slighted and ill-used. While continuing to allow ourselves to be in such situations is unhealthy, we should also remember that holding onto anger is equally damaging. Release yourself from those hurt feelings and forgive the people and circumstances who caused them. Allow yourself to carry on without that extra burden.


And, most importantly, learn to forgive yourself for the mistakes you’ve made over the last year. No individual is perfect. We all have errors in judgment. Learn from the mistakes you’ve make, and let yourself be free of them. With a clean slate, the new year can be as fulfilling as you let it be.
