Every time you replay that grudge, you’re emotionally reenacting a bad Lifetime movie. Let’s hit “Stop” and take a bow already.
Strategy:
Progressive Release: Each morning for a week, say aloud: “I choose peace over pain.” Repeat it even if you don’t feel it—your brain will catch up.
Health Benefit:
Letting go of anger reduces muscle tension and chronic pain, especially in the neck, shoulders, and jaw. (Also, your massage therapist will thank you.)
Pep Talk:
You weren’t born to be a pack mule for past pain. Unload it—and walk taller.
