WHAT IF I TOLD YOU THAT FORGIVING SOMEONE TODAY COULD INCREASE YOUR PRODUCTIVITY AND SUCCESS IN BUSINESS AND POSSIBLY MAKE YOU MORE MONEY?....WOULD THAT BE WORTH SOMETHING TO YOU?

In a study conducted by Dr. Frederick Luskin, a Senior Advisor in Health Promotion at Standford University, and Director of The Stanford Forgiveness Projects, he showed that financial advisors who were given training in interpersonal forgiveness as a healthy response to the normal difficulties of business produced an average increase in sales between 18 - 46% over an reference group of advisors who produced average increases of only 5 - 14%. He also showed that their (the financial advisors who received training) level of productivity increased by 24% as well as their ability to experience positive emotional states like happiness, better focus, better night's sleep. They also showed a 23% decrease in physical symptoms of stress.

WHAT IF I TOLD YOU THAT FORGIVING SOMEONE TODAY COULD HELP RELIEVE, PREVENT or POSSIBLY CURE A CONDITION LIKE HEART DISEASE OR CANCER....WOULD THAT SPARK YOUR CURIOSITY

Research has now found the physiological link between negative emotional states such as prolonged anger, hostility and depression and heart disease. It has also been known for some time that prolonged stress lowers the immune system leaving you more vulnerable to illness. Holding onto hurts, grudges, annoyances, pet peeves or old wounds that get re- opened by life events are a stressful event to your body.

then why dont we able to adopt this tool if it is so useful..
here are the problems...
The Problem: Misconceptions
Misconceptions about what forgiveness is and is not. People think or perceive forgiveness as weakness or giving in, excusing the behavior of someone who behaved badly or that it means forgetting about what happened to them or reconciling.
It is perceived as being a religious practice.
People don’t know how to forgive, they do not have a process for dealing with their emotions. Religious traditions usually do advocate forgiveness but don’t always offer practical steps as to how.
The Solution: Education
Helping people develop a new understanding of forgiveness as a healthy response to stress,.
Helping people understand that it is not just a religious practice but a valid form of mind body therapy that is an integral part of healing and prevention.
Helping people understand that it is not about weakness but about power, as in taking yours back. and not leaving the responsibility for your health, your wealth and your well being and happiness in someone else’s hands by blaming them.
If I have persuaded you to forgive someone today and you would like to explore this topic more, I have included the links to the resources and articles I referred to today, You can also print a copy of Dr. Luskin’ 9 Steps to Forgiveness which is freely available on his website. I also invite you to explore this new website forgivenessasanactofpower.com which will provide help and support to people who would like to learn more and get support for their process of forgiveness.
