We have all had times in our lives where we feel we were “wronged” by somebody. Sometimes we can move on, and sometimes it just keeps “hanging on”, and we keep bringing ourselves back to it again. We have to learn to let it go! We need to be surrounded by others, whether family or friends who support us, and help remind us, that they are they for us, no matter what. Here are my 3 kids when they were little, and I was running the Twin Cities Marathon. They were a walking billboard for me that day. This was the message on the front of their shirts. It can be a reminder to us all to “Go”! Keep moving forward, and learn to forgive those things in our lives, or people in our lives, who we have had an issue with. Exercise is a great way to help relieve that additional stress.
Forgiveness is not the easiest things to do in some situations…but for many, is the only true answer.
But can it ever change things going into the future! A huge amount of stress can be taken off of our backs just by doing this. Sometimes we may need time to think, time to go workout and relieve that stress and figure out what to do, and at other times, we just need TIME!
Forgiveness can help us move on. Exercise can be a source to give us that energy, and time to think, to be able to move on! You don’t, or won’t know, how much until you try it!
We need to rely on people around us, and closest to us to help with this. It is amazing how much this can help as well!
As I was coming to the finish line of the marathon that day at Twin Cities, my kids all turned around to give me another message! I have never forgotten this…ever! And I don’t think I ever will! This was huge to me, and a reminder to me that I have people who care for me as well! We don’t need to always do things by ourselves, or have to get through those tough times by ourselves! That is what family and friends are for! The picture is at the end of this post!
Keep moving everybody! Learn to forgive…learn to let it Go! I frequently look back on this picture…it is one of my favorites!
