Habits of Happy People: They Don't Hold Grudges

They know that holding intense negative feelings about anyone harms them more than it harms the other person.

Scientific studies show that holding a grudge adversely affects the health. It leads to anxiety, depression, an increased heart rate and elevated blood pressure.

Letting go of grudges and bitterness makes way for happiness, health and peace.

Forgiveness leads to:

  • healthier relationships

  • greater spiritual and psychological well-being

  • less stress, anxiety and hostility

  • lower blood pressure

  • a stronger immune system, and

  • improved heart health and higher self-esteem.

So, whatever it is, do yourself a favour and let it go.
