Forgiveness Helps You Heal

2/20/2015

Have you ever downed an entire package of chips, cracker, or cookies? Ate pizza or cake until you felt sick? Drank more coffee, soda or wine than your body wanted?  Do you remember how you were feeling at the time? I ask because sometimes we overeat to help distract us from emotional pain. Think about it – have you noticed that sometimes when you overeat you aren’t hungry at all? Perhaps you are lonely. Or sad. Or resentful. Or frustrated. Or something else.  So what hurt are YOU holding on to?  Wouldn’t it be more effective to address your uncomfortable feelings? The best, most thorough and divinely perfect way to do that is to tap into the power of forgiveness. 

Forgiving is not easy, even for the most enlightened among us. If you’ve been allowing your present health to be controlled by past hurts, I urge you to commit to forgiving. These steps can help:

  • Talk to sympathetic friends and family about your desire to forgive. Chatting with others is tremendously comforting and healing.

  • Write a letter to the person you would like to forgive. You can decide whether or not to send it.

  • Make an honest effort to see the situation from the other person’s perspective – your own perspective may change.

  • Remember to forgive yourself. Sometimes we can be harshest with ourselves.

  • Understand that you are responsible for your own attitude. Don’t let holding a grudge keep you from feeling free, open, and powerful in your own life.

Take action this week by forgiving and watch how much easier your relationship with eating becomes.
