How large is your Grudge box?
First what IS a Grudge Box? It’s the place in your head where you keep
track of all your past grudges.
You know…
The kid in high school who stole your ONE true love

The mother-in-law who never respects any of your ideas and loves the other one better
The woman in the grocery line who flirted with your “ever-so-handsome-and-
The mother-in-law who never respects any of your ideas and loves the other one better
Yep, all these and more.
So be honest, how large is your grudge box?
I am working on reducing mine in the following ways:
1. Forgiving myself for holding on to the past.
2. Creating an even larger Gratitude box.
3. Maintaining protective distance from people whom I fear may hurt me.
4. Explaining to my close family that I am no longer in the grudge
business and that I will attempt to clear the air if I feel a grudge
surge coming on.
You may borrow my strategies, or make some of your own. I would love to hear from you.
Love and light
