To forgive, doesn’t always mean to forget. It doesn’t mean that you don’t feel, it doesn’t mean the situation never happened. It doesn’t mean that you give the other person a pass or pardon, and it certainly doesn’t mean that you must keep this person in your life.

Your thoughts can cause some of the aches and pains you may be experiencing in your physical body; in other words, your mind and body are connected; how you think can affect how you feel, and how your feel, can affect how you think.
As we move through our daily routines, we are confronted with different degrees of stress and anxiety. The mind and body are connected, and if there is an imbalance, your body will speak to you. Psychological stress causes this imbalance, a resistance to the flow of energy in the body, resulting in muscle tension.
“Influence,” what a powerful word! According to the dictionary; “It’s the capacity to have an effect on the character, development, or behavior of someone or something, or the effect itself.” Okay, so how does this sit with you? Are you easily influenced or persuaded away from your core beliefs?
