7 day Mental Diet of Forgiveness-Change your life forever
74My beloved Brothers and Sisters...
I am about to share a wonderful practice that has helped me change a lot of things in my life. It has not only helped me, it has helped lots of people. However, I must warn you, once you decide to take on this diet you must stick to it rigorously.
Understand that good things do take time and success belongs to the persevering souls. Before I get deeper into the subject, I´d like to converse with you and give you the reasons why you should try earnestly before giving up.
I suppose you have tried every possible formula to find success and happiness in your life. Sometimes they have just belonged to you temporarily, and then you are back to square one. Well, this is natural because most people forget to share their success, and when that happens, it becomes ephemeral.
It is sort of a reminder that we are One and the success of a brother/sister is the success of all, as well as the failure. You would ask: “what does success have to do with forgiveness?” Everything! It is an endless interconnected chain.
Not being forgiving has a cause and that cause is based on selfish grounds. Selfishness means unwillingness to share and understand and that causes the depletion of everything in your life. Do you see my point?Just ponder over it. Analyze the times you´ve seen goodness vanishing from your life, and in the end you´ll find the cause in lack of forgiveness.
Seven days´ Forgiveness Mental Diet
The
true Power behind the Lord´s Prayer
Magdalen Graal-An angel´s voice
Are you aware that forgiveness sets YOU free, first than anybody else?
See results without votingForgiveness is the key to happiness and prosperity. The truth is we forgive in our own behalf because when we forgive we free ourselves from unwanted burden. Resentments, aggravations, guilt trips and similar emotions never allow us to be happy and prosperous.
Forgiveness alleviates us, comforts us and enriches us, and naturally, it always benefits those who are forgiven and those who live with us because acts of forgiveness create an environment of peace, harmony and prosperity for us and those around us.
Forgiveness is an expected step towards living unconditional love and there´s no way around it. If you truly desire to feel happy and prosperous make a decision: Take a week-7 days- to train your mind on thoughts of forgiveness.
It isn´t about saying long prayers or doing complex exercises, for the practice of forgiveness is simple, but it is fundamental that deep inside you, you tell yourself: “I (your name) want to forgive”
Then you have to make a serious compromise with yourself to devote seven straight days to Forgiveness Mental Diet. You can start any day of the week, at any time of the day. Write down in a notebook day, hour and place where you are starting your mental diet.
You must continue the exercises until you complete the seven straight days. If you fail during your diet and become prey of your resentments, you shall commence again the diet without disappointment.

During the seven days, you must not stop and linger on any thought of failure, conflict, aggravation, jealousy, condemnation, criticism, guilt trips, and thoughts of sickness, death, worry or accidents.
In other words, you shall not harbor thoughts of pessimism, scarcity or limitation. Make a note of them so you will not forget. Negative thoughts of any kind are a "No-No"!
If they come to you, and undoubtedly they will, do not fight them. Simply do not focus on them, let them pass you by. The problem arises if you linger on them. It would be the equivalent of jumping on a thick crust family size pizza while you´re on a diet.
When they come you are going to tell yourself mentally and out loud: “ I have everything I need, I can do anything I need through God within me, therefore nothing or nobody can harm me”
If your memory evokes people you resent, you say mentally:” I bless you in the name of God within me; and I forgive you”
Should you find yourself involved in conversations about past resentments, unpleasant news, or you receive messages that disturb your inner peace and provoke fear, tell yourself: “I can see this from a different perspective”,
and then you keep your thinking raised repeating: “I have everything I need, I can do anything I need through God within me, therefore nothing or nobody can harm me”
Simply do not accept any idea that will make you feel uneasy, remorseful or negative in any way. If you find yourself involved in discussions where you are trying to prove yourself right to get peace of mind,
recognize that it isn´t important to convince ANYBODY of what you believe, and say:”I´m not interested in being right, I´m interested in keeping my inner peace”
There is no need for struggles or sermons. During these seven days apply the Golden Rule: "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you."
If during these seven days, a situation that scares you arises in your life, breathe deeply, be still and recognize that God is within you, say to yourself: “Be-Still-and-know-I-AM-God” Since God is with you, nothing and no one can go against you.
Keep silent! Remember that Silence is golden. Do not tell anybody you are doing the diet. This powerful exercise is private and personal; keep it within your heart.
Remember: There isn´t anything or anyone with enough power to harm you. Only your attitude and your reaction to others´ behavior or external events can harm you.
If you faithfully succeed in finishing your mental diet, you´ll see significant changes in your life. Trust in God´s Wisdom to guide you through the perfect experience that you need to grow and prosper…
Warmest hugs, lots of love and infinite heavenly blessings,
I LOVE YOU ALL,
Al

Dearest Al,
I love the way you explain some very basic concepts in the most captivating way. Yes, I agree with all that you say here.
I liked the part where you say "There isn´t anything or anyone with enough power to harm you. Only your attitude and your reaction to others´ behavior or external events can harm you."
There is something similar from which I draw inspiration, which goes along the lines of "Nobody can hurt you without your permission."
Thanks Al for another educative hub. Voted up and rated useful.
Best regards,
I have found this true yes indeed. What I discovered is while I thought I was forgiving there was one person I was not forgiving and that way myself. Once I did that and forgave ME that when everything came into place and a peace happened for me.
Great hub, and I am here to tell you this is true, completely true, I have encountered this experience a little late in life, but I GOT it! There is a lighter skip to my step, a smile on my face, and a great attitude towards many, since I learned to forgive. Thumbs up
I agree with this hub! Forgiveness is indeed the key to a happier and joyful existence. Grudges, anger, resentment can cause illnesses and all kinds of diseases. Forgiveness breathes in good health and gives freedom to the soul! Great hub! Blessings to you Kuya Al. :) Thanks for sharing.
Mystique, I went through a period of time working with a Christian counselor to help with forgiveness and the freedom and joy are the reward. Your 7 day idea is great.
Hey Mystique youve got a heart of gold forgiveness is hard, I know it but once you already gave it, it is something, Maita
okay Al-- you got me... I suspect you have been waiting for me to try this out. Wish me luck. I'll tell you how it goes. I'm not sure if this will work but worth a shot... thanks and more thanks as always.
As always, all the best
your moonshine.
Thanks for sharing something very important we all need to master and learn in the world! :)

This is a great idea! The Seven Day' Mental Forgiveness Diet can also be modified to other issues that block our mental and spiritual well being.
Thumbs up!
