Forgiveness: Tools for Healing

This segment focuses on how we begin curing ourselves from harboring feelings of resentment or betrayal, sometimes for decades. Recognizing that we're holding onto these emotions is important, as is releasing our need to put our expectations onto other people are big things. Anger often comes from unmet expectations that build up and cause frustrations over time. Lori Hutson joins Suzanne on behalf of Vitality Revolution podcast series gold sponsor Humana, talking about physical and emotional wellness. Lori, owner of L.J. Hudson Insurance LLC in Washington, talks about the wellness mindset promoted by Humana. Ask yourself, what are our own expectations? Realizing that others don't necessarily feel and react the same way we do is helpful. The next step might be to investigate our inventory of feelings. Ways to do that include meditation, prayer, and journaling. When we start writing down your feelings and the history behind them, it can help spot patterns in your thinking, and is cathartic in and of itself. Lori and Suzanne have discussed the topic of forgiveness extensively in the podcasts How to Forgive, Part 1 and How to Forgive, Part 2. You can contact Lori through her website at L.J.
