Are you holding a grudge? About?
Holding onto a grudge can destroy your life. I learned this the hard way.
In held on to grudges for years and it cost me my health, physical as well as mental.

Living in a chronic state of tension affects your body’s repair mechanisms. It increases inflammation and affects the stress hormone called cortisol. Unforgiveness affects the nervous system.
Think about it this way:
Your brain doesn’t know what is real and what’s imagined. When you replay in your mind an experience you had years or months ago your body reacts as if you’re having the same experience over and over again.
People tend to hold onto grudges because it gives them a of control -that if we don’t forget an offense, it won’t ever happen again.
Our ego wants to sink its teeth into blaming negativity and tension, but holding a grudge won’t give you any control over the situation.
I held a grudge against my mother for years, do you think she cared at all about what she did? Nope not one care. I was only hurting myself by doing it.
