This is mentioned in many religions and philosophies. We must always forgive and not carry a stone on our soul, to ask for forgiveness if we are to blame because pride has not made anyone happy.

For example, the basis of such a technique as "emotional freedom" is the statement that a person must give up everything negative and grind it on the inside to find happiness. Only in this way can we learn to value ourselves and the world around us.

We live in a society where chaos and noise reign, distracting from the main thing - understanding what is significant in our lives. Constant anxiety, endless stress do not allow us to enjoy the most valuable thing - today.

Forgiveness is good for the brain

If you reflect a little, then forgiveness is a manifestation of determination and courage. And for that, you don't have to wait for the right time or the right circumstances. You can show your courage and give up all your worries right now.

People tend to interpret forgiveness as a manifestation of weakness, which means giving up. This is a huge misconception. Forgiveness is a form of emotional release. We gain unprecedented freedom, we cease to be prisoners of what hurts. Indeed, this is our only chance to get rid of the pain and put an end to it.

Robert Alder, a pioneer in the field of "psychoneuroimmunology", explains that there is a close relationship between emotions and health. During numerous experiments, scientists have concluded that there is a strong link between the nervous system and the immune system. And stress can have a significant effect on our immune system.

And what are upset and disappointed? This is a huge and constant stress. This means that they directly affect the immune system and we become more vulnerable to disease.

So forgiveness is necessary first and foremost for ourselves. By forgiving, we strengthen our health and achieve emotional balance. We get rid of pain and bitterness, opening our hearts and souls to new opportunities that life is full of.

The ability to recognize and learn is the key to a happy life

Learning doesn't just mean remembering new information, analyzing it, and becoming more educated. Education is a process of awakening a person, the ability to rediscover something for himself every day (by the way, himself) to better adapt to this world.

What is certain is that people, no matter how intelligent and wise they may be, tend to create certain patterns of thinking over time. This means that they lose their ability to look at the world beyond their "points". That's why it's so important to learn every day, every minute. Do this for yourself to survive in our changing world.

Learning is constantly discovering something new. Something that will help you to improve as an individual, to detect and correct mistakes, to adopt someone else's successful experience.

Find out something new every day. This will help you grow and develop, which means it will bring you one step closer to your best version. This is the meaning of human existence.

Gratitude is an invaluable virtue

Feelings of gratitude and appreciation have a very positive impact on the brain and mood: anxiety decreases, depression - disappears. And most importantly, we are finally beginning to live a full life and appreciate it.

To say "thank you" means to appreciate what we have, who we are, to gain freedom: to love the world and the people in it, to love ourselves and everything around us.

Indeed, we often steal our joy and happiness. How? Thinking about what we are missing, regretting the missed opportunities, motivated by the fact that today we would have acted very differently. You can't imagine how destructive and harmful those thoughts are! All we get as a result is disappointment, frustration, and pain.

Instead, take a closer look at your life. He looked around. Every day is a chance to thank fate for what you have. For the health of your children. The parents are alive. Because you can see a wonderful sunrise through the kitchen window. Because you can read a wonderful book before bed or watch your favorite movie.

Every day is a chance to forgive, understand, or ask for forgiveness. It won't take long. And it's completely free. But you will find freedom and happiness, you can look to the future with faith and optimism.
