When someone has     1     (deep) hurt you, it can be very difficult to let go of your anger. But forgiveness is possible and it can be surprisingly     2     (benefit) to your physical, and mental health. So far research     3     (show) that people who forgive can have more energy, better appetite and better sleep. “People who forgive show     4     (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 to feel more energetic.”

So when someone has hurt you, cool down first. Take a couple of breaths and think of something     5     gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love. Don’t wait for them     6     (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     7     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     8     (accept) the action of the person who upsets you. Instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and     9    (kind) around you.Finally, try to see things from the other person’s perspective (视角). You may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance. To gain perspective, you may want to write a letter    10     yourself from that person’s point of view.
