Understanding why you might be resisting will help you learn to forgive.

Once you realise why you resist forgiving yourself or someone else it makes it way easier TO forgive. It's a bit like what Louise Hay says,Stop Resisting Forgiveness And Truly Move On Articles being willing to change isn't actually doing what you want to do but taking one step back and the energy of willingness will move you forward.

Some reasons why you may resist forgiving are you feel that it's a weak thing to do. You feel that it's like throwing in the towel and giving in. You take all the charge out of your anger and righteousness and it feels like you're left with no natural steam. And then what would you emotionally focus on and how else will you discharge the pent-up energy?

If it's yourself you want to forgive then there may be a feeling of it being a cop-out. How can you forgive yourself when you've done something wrong? Does it means you can carry on doing a lot of things wrong and then just forgive yourself and it's ok?

It may also be that if you forgive yourself then the way you see yourself might change. You may no longer feel like victim that needs punishment, so who are you instead? What role do you play out in life from now on? The anger and punishing thoughts may have been all-consuming.

It might be that if you forgive yourself then it means that you have to be really good from now on in and you're not sure you want to be that perfect.

It may be that you choose to feel all these things and carry on down that path but you also have a choice not to feel those resistances. It might feel like you have to take the barrier down in order to forgive and that's a vulnerable place to be. Too vulnerable.

But until you do then you don't have the ability to tap into the energy of forgiveness which is all around us and accessible to everyone. It means you are still trapped in a self-imposed prison and until you are willing to forgive you will stay there and not experience the freedom that forgiveness offers you.
