How To Forgive Someone Who Has Hurt You: In 8 Steps

Step 1: Move On to the Next Act. ...

Your past history and all of your hurts are no longer here in your physical reality. Don’t allow them to be here in your mind, muddying your present moments.

Step 2: Reconnect with the people in your life that haven't hurt you and spend your mental energy giving to others that also are about your emotional health.

Step 3: Don't Go to Sleep Angry. Let go of the negative emotions by, talking about it with a professional, journaling or using art and music to get a mental release.

Step 4: Switch the Focus from Blaming Others to Understanding Yourself more.

Shift your mental energy to allowing yourself to be with whatever you’re feeling — let the experience be as it may, without blaming others for your feelings. Don’t blame yourself either!

Step 5: Avoid Telling People What to Do.

Be the boss of your life. This means that taking control of your moral code and not the other persons faults and short comings.

Step 6: Learn to Let Go and Be Like Water.

Picture yourself as having the same qualities as water. Allow your soft, weak, yielding, fluid self to enter places where you previously were excluded because of your inclination to be solid and hard. Flow softly into the lives of those with whom you feel conflicted.

... Step 7: Take Responsibility for Your Part.

Removing blame means never assigning responsibility to anyone else for what you’re experiencing.

Step 8: Stop Looking for Occasions to Be Offended

If you have enough faith in your own beliefs, you’ll find that it’s impossible to be offended by the beliefs and conduct of others.
