1826 || how to forgive (what the science says)

Forgiveness is not an all-or-nothing process. You can partially release by choosing to stop ruminating, and even if you don’t feel entirely at peace yet, it is important to recognize that you have made meaningful progress. Every step you take away from feeling resentment is a step toward your sense of freedom. - Kinga Mnich, PhD 

1. Know exactly what you are forgiving

2. Commit to forgiving for your own benefit

3. Separate the person from the act

4. Release unenforceable rules

5. Redirect your energy toward your own life
