Practice Forgiveness (Even When You Don’t Feel Like It)
It’s been scientifically proven that forgiveness improves our mental and physical health. When you hold on to negative energy, it can manifest itself as sickness.

Some people are naturally forgiving; while for others, it can be painfully difficult. If you’re not quite ready to let bygones be bygones, check out this advice for practicing forgiveness – even when you don’t effing feel like it!
