Forgiveness Oils the Brain for Health

It looks now like those times when you mustered up the courage to Handshake 2.jpgforgive somebody who did you in…will actually work in your favor… Researchers now tell us that people who forgive… tend to be healthier and happier… than those who cling to grudges or hope for revenge.

But what about the fellow worker who scooped your best ideas and then landed a promotion… while you got passed over? …or the  friend who make a pass at your partner while you were away on business?  “No matter how deep the wound,” Filomena Hipsman, said following the  loss her son at Waco said, “Forgiveness should be an everyday occurrence…” 

Nobody denies that forgiveness takes time though… and yet it helps to remember how the healthy brain is wired to forgive…

Check out  
Filomena Hipsman’s story  and ask yourself if you could have later forgiven those who shared responsibility for her 27 year old son, Peter’s death.  Waco , which was the Texas Branch Davidian’s compound in 1993... looked more like a place for violence and blame…. Do you agree that forgiveness is still possible even when a wound goes that deep?

Dr. Robert  Enright,  professor of educational psychology at the University of Wisconsin- Madison , runs the International Forgiveness Institute. Dr. Enright’s research shows the science to forgiveness that can lead to emotional and mental well-being.

What would more forgiveness… on a daily basis…  do for you or your business…?

Dr. Ellen Weber,

I am interested in your comment about the brain being "wired for forgiveness." Could you share more about this?

Thank you,
