When someone has 61 (deep) hurt you, it can be very difficult to let go of your anger. But forgiveness is possible --- and it can be surprisingly 62 (benefit) to your physical and mental health. So far, research 63__ (show) that people who forgive can have more energy, better appetite and better sleep. “People who forgive show 64 (little) anger and more hopefulness.” says Dr. Frederic Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good. “So it can help reduce the tiredness out of the immune system and allow people 65 (feel) more energetic.”
So when someone has hurt you, cool down first. Take a couple of breaths and think of something 66 gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love. Don’t wait for an 67 (apologize). “Many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing.” says Dr. Luskin. “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things in 68 same way. So if you wait for people to say sorry, you could be waiting a very long time.”
Next keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean 69 (accept) the action of the person who upsets you. Instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. Finally, try to see things from the other person’s perspective. You may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance. To gain perspective, you may want to write a letter to 70 (you) from that person’s point of view.
