Forgive for the Health of It!

Wellness image.

When we walk around harbouring angry and bitter feelings toward someone who has done something hurtful or wrong to us, we hurt ourselves, not the person who committed the wrongdoing. Unresolved anger and resentment manifests itself in the way we live our lives and ultimately, they affect our health and quality of life.

Some issues that affect us deeply go way back. Back to childhood, even. Think of the effects that they have had on so many of our life experiences. Do you want to start anew? Are you interested in shaping how you respond to life from this point forward? Consider the notion of forgiveness. Forgiveness frees us of the burden of resentment and anger; the greater the hurt, the greater the benefits involved in forgiving the one who did the hurting.

Alexander Pope stated, "To err is human; to forgive, divine." Forgiving doesn’t mean forgetting. Forgiving doesn’t mean accepting unacceptable behaviour. Forgiving isn’t excusing another’s inexcusable actions. Forgiving is for you. Forgiveness is all about freedom from the one who wronged you. Forgiveness is a way to move on so the hurt no longer controls future life experiences and interactions with others.

The healing benefits of forgiveness include:
  • Decreased stress levels
  • Decreased anger and negative thoughts
  • Decreased anxiety and depression
  • Decreased vulnerability to substance abuse/addictive illness

It may be difficult to work through forgiveness on your own. Talk it out with someone you trust. Mental health professionals can also be useful in assisting you with identifying and forgiving real and/or perceived wrongdoings.

Whatever the hurt…forgiveness is the answer for you.

Is a muscle spasm a cause or an effect?
With the knee-jerk use of muscle relaxers, you'd think it was a cause. But it's an effect. Chiropractors know that bones don't move unless muscles move them. And muscles don't contract unless commanded by the nervous system. That's why your nervous system is the focus of our Burleigh Heads chiropractic practice.
What happens if you stop chiropractic care when you feel better?
Many Burleigh Heads folks recognise that this predisposes you to a relapse. Chiropractors know that muscles and ligaments supporting the spine don't fully heal until after symptoms subside.
