Today’s Tip: Forgive Someone
It’s true: you’ll be happier if you practice forgiveness. Holding a grudge is not a happiness habit–resentment keeps negative emotions like anger and frustration front and center in our lives. So when we forgive others, we do it to make ourselves feel better. Today, zero in on someone that has been aggravating you lately and consciously try to practice forgiveness toward them. Take some deep breaths while you silently wish them well in your mind. Clear your mind so that it isn’t fertile ground for the negative emotions that come with holding a grudge.
