When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be
extremely difficult to let go of your anger. But forgiveness is possible and it
can be surprisingly 36 to your physical and 37 health.
"People who forgive 38 less
depression, anger and stress and more hopefulness," says Frederic Luskin,
Ph.D., 39 of Forgive for Good. "So it can help 40
on the .wear and tear on our organs, reduce the wearing out of the
immune system and 41 people to feel more vital."
So how do you start the forgiveness? Try 42
these steps:
Calm yourself. To defuse (緩解) your 43 and
try a simple stress-management technique.
"Take a couple of breaths and think of
44 that gives you pleasure: a 45 scene in
nature, someone you love," Luskin says.
Don't 46 an apology.
"Many times the person who hurt you has no 47 of
apologizing," Luskin says. "They may have wanted to hurt you or they
just don't see things the same 48 . So if you wait for
people to apologize ,you could be waiting a(n) 49 long time.
"Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean 50 to
the person who upsets you.
Take the control away from your offender.
Mentally replaying your 51 gives power to the person who
caused you pain. " 52 of focusing on your hurt feelings,
learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness 53 you,"
Luskin says.
Try to see things from the other person's
perspective (立場(chǎng);視角).
If you empathize (有同感) with that person, you may 54 that he or she was
acting out of ignorance, fear even love.
Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.
Research has shown that people who forgive report more energy, better 55
and better sleep patterns. Don't forget to forgive yourself.
"For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge,"
Luskin says.
"But it can rob you of your
self-confidence if you don't do it. "
