【推荐2】How could you start to forgive (原谅)?

When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be very difficult to forgive him or her. However, forgiveness is possible, and it can be quite good for your health. But how do you start to forgive? Here are the ways to help you.

    1    

To remove your anger and make yourself calm down again, try a simple stress-management way. Take a deep breath and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love.

    2    

Don't always think about your bad feelings. It can only give power to the one who hurt you. Instead, why not try to look for love, beauty and kindness around you?

    3    

Many times the person who hurt you may not want to apologize (道歉). They may have wanted to hurt you or they just didn't see things the same way. So if you wait for people to apologize, it can be a terribly long time. Remember, forgiveness doesn't mean becoming friends again with the one who upsets you.

    4    

If you understand that person, you may realize that he or she was not doing that on purpose. Sometimes doing that is just from fear or even love. To make it clear, you could write a letter to yourself from your offender's point of view.

    5    

For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge. If you do that, it can make you relaxed, and then you can eat more and have a good sleep.

A．Calm down.

B．Don't wait for an apology.

C．Don't forget to forgive yourself.

D．Try to forget the person who hurt you.

E．Try to see things from the offender's side.

F．Think of something that makes you happy.
