How to Let Go of Resentment

Something that we have all faced at one point or another is the feeling of someone disappointing us. We live in a world where we have a belief that everyone should think and feel the way we do. Now I know if you are reading this and you have a lot of anger towards somebody else, then chances are you may not like this next part, but please hear me out.

You are going to feel the resentment regardless of what someone has done to you is on you. No one is making you feel the anger, frustration, and the uncomfortable feelings that you feel. Those feelings you are choosing to feel. Now, I have been where you are and I have had to deal with the same anger and feelings of resentment as you, so I attest that none of what I am saying is easy to do, but it is what is required in order to fully move on and let go.

When we experience someone disappointing us, leaving us, or abandoning us, our ego is bruised and our wounded self feels hurt. What most of us did not learn how to do when we go through these experiences is move away from the emotional thinking into logical thinking. Rational thinking will keep you from becoming stuck in a negative circle. The reason for this is so you will be able to see the situation for what it is, and help yourself through the anger you are feeling.
