Research shows that people who choose forgiveness experience more feelings of relaxation, joy, and empathy. When you forgive someone, instead of feelings of resentment and a desire for revenge, you experience compassion and kindness. You do not have to forget that the offense occurred, however, forgiveness frees you from negative thoughts and replaces them with more positive emotions.*
If you want to benefit from forgiveness, you do not have to wait for others to apologize or speak up first. Through mental forgiveness you can forgive independently for a happier, healthier life.
