Not forgiving that person is an insidious attack on the life you're living. 

It may not be obvious, but that silent tension that permeates every moment of your life...it's because you've chosen to hold onto negative energy. It's hard to forgive, especially people "who don't deserve it". But choosing to not forgive someone is a choice to live with them forever. 

One of the hardest human challenges, when truly practiced, forgiveness profoundly transforms us. Forgiveness alchemizes us into people who can heal others through our example and unlocks the door to authentic contentment. This episode shares some of the gems I've picked up in my healing journey.

What do you do when you're having a bad day? Do you throw your hands up and get moody? Or do you dissect the reason why this shit is happening to you? 

Think of it this way: when the check engine light comes on in your car -- do you say "This is a bad car!!"? Or are you thankful for the notification to maintain your vehicle? Just like a car sends us little reminders to keep things maintained, sometimes we receive little reminders from life to keep us maintained.

Listen to the episode to learn small but effective ways to gain your power back. You're not having a bad day, Boo. You've just received a notification to dig deeper.

Negativity isn't always a bad thing. Sometimes negativity is a door begging you to be opened. Rushing into more positive feelings can be a form of spiritual bypassing -- no bueno. In the interest of avoid toxic positivity, sometimes you just gotta acknowledge when shit hits the fan and thank it for doing so.
