Step 1. First, be aware of your feelings. Know exactly how you feel about what happened; be able to articulate what, in particular, was not OK about the situation in which you feel you were wronged. Tell a few trusted people about your experience. When you're ready for the next step, say next.

Step 2. Know that forgiveness is for your own sake. Make a commitment to yourself to do what you have to do to feel better. Forgiveness is for you, not for anyone else. When you're ready for the next step, say next.

Step 3. Do not expect reconciliation. Forgiveness does not necessarily mean reconciliation with the person who hurt you, or condoning their actions. What you're looking for is a sense of peace and closure. When you're ready for the next step, say next.

Ok, Goodbye!

step four
Step 4. Recognize how the event is affecting you in the present. Recognize that your primary distress is coming from hurt feelings, thoughts and physical upset you are suffering now, not what offended or deeply hurt you two minutes or 10 years ago. Forgiveness helps to heal those hurt feelings. When you're ready for the next step, say continue, or say step and tell me the step number you'd like to hear.
step five
Step 5. Learn to activate the relaxation response. At the moment you feel upset, practice a simple stress management technique of deep breathing to soothe your body’s flight or fight response. Focus on your breathing and try to bring your mind back to a peaceful state. When you're ready for the next step, say continue, or say step and tell me the step number you'd like to hear.

Step 6. Concentrate on what you can control. Remember that you can only control your own thoughts and actions, not anyone else’s. Give up expecting things from other people, or your life, that they do not choose to give you. When you're ready for the next step, say next.
next
Step 7. Move on. Instead of mentally replaying your hurt over and over, stop ruminating and seek out new friends and new situations that can lead to further positive influences. When you're ready for the next step, say next.

Step 8. Be the agent of change in your life. Remember that a life well lived is the best revenge. Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, and thereby giving power to the person who hurt you, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. When you're ready for the next step, say next.

Okay, last step, step 9. Change the story. Amend your grievance story with a new ending. Your heroic choice to forgive. Thanks! Goodbye!
