<div class="text-justify">Greetings dear friends of the great family Steemit.
Today I want to talk about forgiveness, a very important issue for the health of all human beings, although some do not seem, many diseases such as: Depression, anxiety, heart disease, cancer, back pain, insomnia, ulcers, headaches, To name a few, they are a product of not forgiving, of keeping hatred and resentment towards the person who at some point hurt us.
I wanted to touch the subject so that we reflect on this, I am motivated by the frequent messages that a friend writes on facebook about the father who left her, such as: Because of you I lived a very unhappy childhood! There are children who have very good parents but the mine was the worst, and as bad as you can imagine he writes about it.

Summarizing his case a little, unfortunately his father like many Latino parents especially from the era of the 40s, 50s, 60s, to name an era in which machismo was more accentuated in Venezuela, this gentleman dedicated himself to having children for all parties and is proud to say that he had 20 children, most of whom never attended except for the last four.
From there arises that frequent hatred that my friend manifests towards her father.
The truth is that from the bad you should see the positive, thank God because he had a good mother who educated her, I take her forward to be the professional she is.
Of course it is not easy to forget the damage that is caused to a child by the absence of a parent, could grow fearful, with low self-esteem, feel rejected, inability to trust others. In this case the positive thing would be that thanks to his father is in this world and for his sake, for his mental health it is necessary to forgive and forgive him.
>Forgiving is the path of spiritual, mental and emotional liberation. The person who authentically frees himself is the one who forgives, throwing out of his soul the past, guilt, spite and revenge, which only degrades him, consumes him inside him and keeps him tied to past hurts and pains.

Already with the maturity of the adult is in each of us seek to understand the origin of the behavior of that father to heal their wounds to prevent them from affecting their future as adults, this is your responsibility to be a good person, without victimizing, a stop should be placed to prevent our situation from harming someone else, call yourself spouses, hij @ s and others.
The truth is that forgiveness will allow us to live without grudges or desires for revenge towards others; that is, to be happy. This does not mean that we justify the action committed by the people who hurt us but to be alert to be hurt again.
It is necessary to forgive for ourselves, it is a personal choice for our mental health, to free ourselves from the emotions that affect us that cause us fear and distrust to face situations of life.
Even if the person who wounded us did not come to know that we have forgiven it, it is necessary to do so in order to continue to be stronger.
¿How to start to forgive?
• Forgive yourself
• Decide to apologize
• Acknowledge guilt and harm done
• Understand that the situation you experienced is not your fault.
• Learn to control your emotions
• Learn techniques that help you manage stress
• Replace negative images with positives that give you peace and tranquility
• Imagine that you have the person who hurt you in front of you and express everything you feel and how much you suffered.
• Write letters, express the damage that caused him not to send it but to download all the rage that brings
• Be empathetic, place yourself in the place of the person who hurt you, what would you answer if they asked you why you did it?
• Overcome the pain so that the story does not repeat itself with your children
• Apart from pride
• Act from humility
• Open your heart
• Recognize that we are human and make mistakes
• Close your eyes and imagine yourself in front of the person who hurt you hug him and tell him I forgive you, imagine an aura of happiness between the two counts to ten and open your eyes again.
¿What benefits does forgiveness bring?

For all the above written dear friends the recommendation is that we must forgive, although it is not easy because it is an act that requires a lot of courage, to remove the pride and fear of being humiliated. When you forgive who has hurt us, the hatred and resentment that we keep is released. We are liberated! The person you deny forgiveness no longer suffers because you bear a constant weight that does not let you live. You deserve it, forgive!
