Healing & Recovery – Day 25

30 Days to Healing and Recovery Day 25 by Dana Jacoviello

5. Forgive. Forgive yourself and anybody that you feel has done you wrong, hurt you, or betrayed you. The main challenge is forgiving yourself first. Honor and be one with yourself. You must accept yourself before others will. We all need to be forgiven just as much as the next person. There is someone in our lives that we are no longer connected too or have a broken or strained relationship with. The challenge here is to confess it and mean it. Set your soul and heart free from any burden. Forgiveness is not always easy and it might take time. That is ok. It is more for you than the other person. If you feel you can repair a relationship, I recommend doing so. If that relationship is unhealthy, you simply forgive and move on. If you can’t forgive this moment, it will come in time; however, this is a very, very important step in the process of healing and recovery. Truthfully, you can’t complete the process without it. You will become stuck somewhere down the road and your past will follow you. There is no running only being chased.
