Healing Resentments
It’s time to get the resentments out of you and onto “paper.” It’s time to purge the poison that keeps you in bondage – to food, to unhappiness and to the very people toward whom you are resentful.
Write the name of one person you resent and then list all the things you are angry, hurt, annoyed about regarding that person. List everything you can think of, no matter how petty. Every negative feeling and thought you have. Don’t hold back or edit. The key is to get it out of you. NOTE: Do not judge your negative feelings as bad or inappropriate. The best hope you have of experiencing new feelings is to list the ones you are currently feeling.
Is there anything you might have done that instigated or aggravated the situation (or didn’t do…like speak up for yourself?) Explain here. If not, is there anything you can learn from the situation? Can you find compassion for the person who was in so much personal pain as to cause you harm? Can you find it in your heart to forgive this person? If not, pray for forgiveness.
