PRACTICE

Forgiveness of Others

Motherhood is the most personal, familial, intimate, and important of journeys. It stirs passionate emotions and primitive reactions. When you have been hurt, wronged, offended, or rejected, when someone has impacted your life adversely, it is tempting to retaliate. It is tempting to seek revenge, to hit back, punish, and return the pain, or to vindicate your suffering and prove that you have been wronged. However, committing to this path can be as harmful as the original wound. Focusing your energy and time on your distress can entrap you in hours of negative storytelling, reliving and reinforcing your trauma and grief.

The practice here is forgiveness. Forgiveness frees you from the impact another person has to negatively affect your life or rob you of the joy that is rightfully yours. Forgiveness is an act of reclaiming your power to choose to live your life in love and freedom. Forgiveness is not a victim state; quite the opposite. It is a process of empowerment, a refusal to sink into the dark, and a commitment to carry yourself to the light. It takes time, willpower, and strength to lift yourself above the mire and draw your intention toward receiving the good in and around you.

To forgive, you must create the conditions in which you can focus on what is good. Consider which people, places, and ideas in your day encourage and enable forgiveness and which don’t. If you find yourself getting caught in hurt, turn your attention toward the life you are creating, to choosing happiness, to taking responsibility for your choices. Forgiveness is a constant act, moment by moment, day by day, an ongoing commitment to living your own wisdom, joy, and purpose.
