Resentment is an internal manifestation of jealousy, disappointment and pain over external circumstances over which you have no control. It’s a destructive state of mind which hurts and negatively affects only you. The person you resent isn’t impacted at all.
If you are feeling resentful, preserve your health and well-being and let go of the burden of your resentment. First thing you must believe is that you have complete control over your thoughts and behaviors. Write down all of the reasons you’ve been resentful, and be specific. Make this list exhaustive. When you’re done, destroy this piece of paper (shred it, burn it, flush it, etc.), and as you do this, let all of those negative thoughts and feelings go with it.
It will feel so good to be free of the weight you’ve been carrying around. And remember that YOU get to decide how to think and react when things don’t go your way.
Question: Who or what are you resentful of?
