Honestly speaking, I am holding a grudge against some people. I should just move on and forgive them. When someone crosses you so deeply though, it makes it difficult to forgive and forget.
Side note: I’m craving a soda really badly. It’s fogging my mind, so I’m going to run and grab one from the store.
Okay, so I got some soda and I feel refreshed.
Back to discussing grudges. I don’t know if holding a grudge is natural or not. However, I am pretty certain that it is detrimental to one’s health. I think that is why it is important to only hold a grudge when the situation is appropriate enough.
As I think about my grudge, I think more and more about working on releasing it. It really only affects me at this point. The people who wronged me don’t know that I am still upset about what happened. I think that is the part that is missed by most people.
I feel like I am rambling at this point. I’m trying to get back into the habit of posting regularly, the daily prompt is good for that. Anyway, thanks for reading. Feel free to leave a comment, let me know if you think holding a grudge negatively impacts one’s own well-being. I’d be interested in hearing your take.

Justin, it’s not really about the other person. Try identifying positive characteristics when you’re feeling better? Doing it from a space of low vibration can complicate it.
It helps to acknowledge our role in those situations; for example, if someone exists in an abusive relationship, why did one stay? The abuser does not get a pass. And, why did we choose that particular relationship? Why did we stay? Why weren’t we self-valuing enough to leave? None of this is about self-condemnation. It’s simply an inquiry. We can be as gentle as we need to be with it. We can choose self-love.
Great points to consider, thank you for sharing. I find self-compassion difficult in most situations. It’s something I’m working on, starting with reducing/eliminating negative self-talk. It’s an ongoing process though. =P
Miss you. <3
