Getting Over Your Ex With The Power Of Forgiveness

Feeling angry over a breakup? Do you feel that you can never, ever, EVER, forgive him or her?

Obviously getting back together again isn’t in the cards if this is the case. But even if the relationship was very destructive and you are better off without him or her, it’s in your best interest to forgive your ex.

Why is that? Well, one thing you may want to consider is: who are you really punishing by holding a grudge? If you don’t already know, the answer is: you’re punishing yourself.

By holding this grudge, you are dooming yourself to the damaging emotions of anger and rage. Every time you encounter some small reminder of the relationship, be it a song on the radio, a place, or some stranger, those bad feelings will emerge once again. Opening up an old can of worms and reliving all of the painful events yet again is a very hard punishment indeed.

Many people hold on to their grudges for years. The constant anger and the stress that it causes, is tearing away at their bodies from the inside out. This kind of stress is guaranteed to bring on poor health and shorten your life. This focus on negativity will also have a damaging effect on your career, your social life, and your relationships.

When you forgive your ex, the poisonous effects of long term anger and stress will melt away. Forgiveness will cut down your stress levels by about a half. Your mood, energy level, and sleep quality will improve. Years will be added to your life.

If you can’t find a way to forgive, this is what prolonged anger can do to your body:

1.) Weakened immune system.

2.) Brain cell atrophy and memory loss.

3.) Coronary artery disease.

4.) Heart disease.

5.) High blood pressure.

6.) Chronic stomach acid.

7.) Ulcers.

Forgiveness doesn’t mean that you condone the actions of your ex. It’s not always necessary to forgive him or her in person. Just do the forgiving in your own heart and feel better because of it. You deserve it.
