We all come from families. Some of us are blessed with wonderful families who have our best interests at heart, whilst others of us have families that are less-than-perfect. Often, it’s our family dynamics and relationships that shape us into the people we become.

But what happens when we don’t like the person we have become? When we feel like we’re constantly stuck in a cycle of unhappiness and misery, and we can’t seem to break free?

This is precisely where family karma comes in.

Karma is defined as the consequences of our actions, and family karma is what we bring into our family lives from our own personal karma. It’s the culmination of all of our past actions and choices, both as individuals and as a family unit.

Most of us are completely unaware of our family karma, and how it’s impacting our lives. But once we understand what it is, and how it’s affecting us, we can start to work on breaking the cycle.

In this article, I will outline the steps you need to take to break the cycle of family karma and start living your own life.

Acknowledge the Problem: The first step is to acknowledge that you have a problem. This may seem like an obvious step, but it’s often the most difficult one to take.

We all like to believe that we’re in control of our lives, and that we can change things if we want to. But when it comes to our family karma, this is often not the case.

The reality is, our family karma is often a result of the choices our ancestors made, and we may not have had anything to do with them. This can be difficult to accept, but it’s important to do so if you want to break the cycle.

Be Honest With Yourself: The second step is to be honest with yourself. This means taking a good, hard look at your life and acknowledging the things you need to change.

Are you unhappy in your job? Are you in a bad relationship? Do you have a lot of anger and resentment towards your family?

All of these things need to be addressed if you want to break the cycle of family karma.

Make a Change: The third step is to make a change. This may mean making some major changes in your life, or simply making a few small tweaks.

But it’s important to remember that change doesn’t happen overnight. It takes time and patience to make a real difference.

Forgive and Be Forgiven: The fourth step is to forgive and be forgiven. This is perhaps the most important step of all, as it’s only when we forgive and are forgiven that we can truly move on.

Forgiveness doesn’t mean that we’re condoning the actions of our ancestors, or that we’re forgetting what they did. It simply means that we’re choosing to let go of the anger and resentment we’ve been holding onto for years.

Create New Family Traditions: The fifth step is to create new family traditions. This can be a really fun way of breaking the cycle of family karma, and it can help to bring your family closer together.

Some ideas for new family traditions include spending regular time together, going on holidays, or even just eating dinner together every night.

Bind Yourself to New Destinies: The sixth step is to bind yourself to new destinies. This means making a commitment to creating a better life for yourself and your family.

Visualize the life you want to live, and make a commitment to working towards it. The sky’s the limit, so don’t be afraid to dream big!

Let Go of the Past: The seventh and final step is to let go of the past. This doesn’t mean forgetting what happened, but it does mean forgiving and releasing the anger and resentment you’ve been carrying around for years.

When you finally let go of the past, you’ll find that you’re free to move on and create a brighter future for yourself.

But if you’re willing to put in the effort, you can create a new and brighter future for yourself and your family.
