Sunday is my one day of the week off. I absolutely take the day off, I just relax all day long. Today I took time to read, play video games, and watch movies. We all need time to rest. It is a great stress reliever to just have a day filled with nothing. We struggle through our days running from one place to another, arguing with one person out another, and filling our days with busyness of all kinds.
One of the greatest stresses that we face is our own personal relationships. We hold resentment for other people because of perceived wrongs that they have done to us. These wrongs may be actual or perceived, it doesn't matter it effects our attitudes and lives the same. We have to remember that when we hold anger and resentment towards others the only person that it hurts is you. The other person is not effected at all. In most instances they don't even care. Its just like drivers who struggle with road rage and are screaming at other people on the road. The other person can't even hear you so the only people really effected are you and anyone else in the car with you, and believe me the people in three car with you don't want to hear it.
The best way to break free from the stress of resentment is to forgive those people you are holding it for. We tend to make this harder than it needs to be. When we forgive someone the only person the it effects is us. It is more for our piece of mind rather than theirs. It us all about letting go of the anger and giving ourselves the time to heal. So who do you need to forgive today? Let it go and feel the freedom of forgiveness.
