Forgiveness is giving. You are giving love, happiness, freedom, peace, and harmony. You are not only giving it to the other person, you are also giving it to yourself. Forgiveness is not about them; it is about you. It is about your freedom. It is about your peace. It is about your life. It is about your inner harmony. Don’t carry grudges around. It hurts. It is better to forgive. When you forgive people, life will forgive you. As Dr. Joseph Murphy once said, “Forgiveness is giving- giving love, peace, and all the blessings of life to the other- and as you give, you receive.” So if you want people to forgive you, you must first forgive people. You tend to get in life what you put into it. If you want to get love, share your love and forgiveness with other people. The more you do it, the more you get.

“Self-care isn’t selfish.” It is okay to make time for yourself. Don’t feel guilty about it. You have been doing it for other people. Why can’t you make time just to be yourself? Why can’t make time just to connect with yourself? Why can’t you make time to build a strong relationship with yourself? You need it. Your body needs it. Your heart and soul need it. Again, “Self-care isn’t selfish.”

Self-care, according to Joanna Platt, “Is anything you do that helps you build, maintain, and strengthen your relationships with yourself.” She is right. So, what are you doing to maintain your energy? What are you doing to build a solid relationship with yourself? You can anything that works for you. You don’t have to break your bank account to care for yourself. Just pick something that works for you. You can read, take a walk, sing, yoga, meditate, or write. Again, do what works for you. But make sure you are doing something to keep yourself whole. If you do, you can help other people.

I am making peace with myself.
