🌿To forgive 🌿 mental

Yesterday, "I hate myself for not being able to forgive others."

There was someone who consulted with me.

I want to talk a little bit about forgiveness.

To forgive is,

It's not about "forgetting" or "pretending that it didn't happen."

The pain inside of me.

Little by little "let go."

When you are angry or sad,

"I want to forgive, but I can't."

You can blame yourself.

But, uh,

Forgiveness is not for the sake of others.

to free my mind.

"You don't have to keep this pain anymore."

Say it to yourself gently.

To be able to forgive someone,

First, "forgive yourself."

"I am hurt."

"I can't forgive the other person"

Embrace them all,

"That's okay, too."

First, forgive yourself.

I will admit everything.

Then, little by little

My heart is getting lighter

Don't force yourself to forgive someone you can't forgive,

First of all, please forgive yourself 🤎

I hope tomorrow will be a good day 🌿

I don't have to forgive you # peace of mind is the best Autumn that evolves me # mental Too many discoveries.

... Read more私もかつて、誰かを許せない自分に悩み苦しんだ経験があります。特に、傷つけられた記憶が強く心に残っていると、「許そう」と強く思ってもなかなかその感情が動かず、自分を責めることもありました。しかし、この記事にあるように「許す」というのは決して忘れることやなかったことにすることではないと知ってから、気持ちが少しずつ楽になっていきました。 自分の固くなった心の痛みや怒りを、すぐに無理に消すのではなく、少しずつ手放していくというイメージを持ちました。最初はとても時間がかかりますが、焦らず「いまの自分の感情を抱きしめてあげる」ことが大切です。怒りや悲しみを感じた自分も、そのまま認めてその感情を持つ自分を許す。そのうえで、いつか心が軽くなっていくことを信じることが必要だと感じました。 また、誰かを許すためにはまず自分自身を許すことが先だと気づきました。自分を責め続けることは、かえって心の負担を増やしてしまうのです。私は瞑想や日記を書くことで、自分の内面と向き合う時間を持ち、少しずつ自分を受け入れられるようになりました。 この記事で紹介されている「許す=自分の心を自由にするためのプロセス」という考えは、多くのメンタルヘルスの悩みを抱えている方にとって、心の癒しにつながるヒントになるはずです。焦らず、自分のペースで許しのプロセスを進めていけば、心が軽くなり、毎日が少しずつ過ごしやすくなるでしょう。
