Forgive - Empty Your Backpack


Listen Later

Despite its prevalence in our

lives, it seems that many of us have a mistaken view of forgiveness and its impact, not only spiritually and emotionally, but also physically. In fact, according to John Hopkins Medicine, forgiveness has a huge impact on your health:

“Whether it’s a simple spat with your spouse or long-held resentment toward a family member or friend,

unresolved conflict can go deeper than you may realize—it may be affecting your physical health. The good news: Studies have found that the act of forgiveness can reap huge rewards for your health, lowering the risk of heart attack;
improving cholesterol levels and sleep; and reducing pain, blood pressure, and levels of anxiety, depression and stress. And research points to an increase in
the forgiveness-health connection as you age.”
