Emotional Hostage - Holding a Grudge

Hard feelings or holding a grudge is tiring. It can wear you out. It can consume so much of your time and energy - holding you as an emotional hostage. 

Think of a person, a situation, or a memory that continues to bother you. Write it out. Then, open up to forgiveness, starting with yourself. I know. I know that you are screaming 'I didn't do anything wrong.' We are going to take this back inside, the place where healing starts with loving-kindness and self-awareness. Forgiveness is supported by hope from within yourself. So it starts with you. You forgive yourself first and then forgive others.

'Forgiveness is giving up hope that the past could be any different.'.....Oprah. (She only needs her first name as we all know who she is, the words were not "quoted" as they weren't quite verbatim, but you get the idea. Read it again. It's an 'AHA') 

Blame, judgment, resentment are all false perceptions that prevails when our true inner self isn't aware. We plan our revenge or that conversation to tell that person everything that they did wrong and how they are this and that. It doesn't feel good to converse from this anger, from an emotional hostage state. In this state you are running away from forgiveness and seeking your own self-assurance through blame of another.

With awareness you can run towards forgiveness and hope drives that. The next time you plan your revenge or the exchange of words, what's your intention? What are you hoping for? 

What emotions are holding you hostage today, and where can you start letting them go with true forgiveness? Don't know how to get started on this, understood.
