Things to Forgive on a Daily Basis:
Annoying and Upsetting People Each night before sleep scan through your day and forgive anything and anyone that pressed your buttons during the day. Even if it seems illogical for you to have been upset by whatever occurred, forgive it. If you got activated, you need to release it. (I use Practice #1 Seeing the Higher Truth which is explained in my book, "Forgiveness is the Key to Happiness" for my nightly clearing and releasing of events and people that upset me during the day)
Yourself Each night before sleep scan through your day and forgive yourself for anything you feel you did or did not do, said or did not say, thought or did not think, which is creating feelings of discomfort for you now. (I use Practice #1 for this, too.)
Other Worlds Each night before sleep think back to anything you saw on television, the internet or in any reading you did that pressed your buttons. Yes, we have to forgive the Housewives of Beverly Hills as well as anyone from the news that harmed anyone else during the day. If it activated your emotions and you judged it as unfair, wrong or scary, you need to forgive and release it. (I also use Practice #1 for this.) Also in this category would be any bad experiences you remember from your dreams.
Frequent Protagonists We also need to forgive the people that repeatedly press our buttons over and over. This might be a spouse, boss, child, friend, co-worker. There are just certain people that annoy us over and over. These people will continue to upset and annoy us until we have forgiven them on a deep level. (You can use Practice #1 to forgive them, but it will probably take some deeper work such as Radical Forgiveness, or a Feel the Feelings Process which are Process #3 and #4 in my book.)
Your Past On a regular basis, be alert to any memories from your past that trigger any level of upsetting emotion when you think of them. Save these for your nightly work and before sleep use Practice #3 Feeling the Feelings, or deal with them the next morning using one of Colin Tipping's Radical Forgiveness forms (available at www.ColinTipping.com under "free stuff").
Mental Blockages These create areas where you are experiencing lack, disappointment, frustration and fear in your life. Mental Blockages exist due to beliefs you created early in your life. These might include beliefs like "I'm not good enough", "Everyone abandons me", "I'm not loveable", "I don't deserve to have what I want", and "I'm not worthy", among many others. These beliefs prevent us from living in the fullness of life. If we do not dig them up, look at them and clear them through, we will continue to experience some form of lack in our life, whether it be financial difficulties, relationship difficulties or health difficulties. As long as we believe that we are not deserving of better, difficulties will be a part of our world. In order to clear these up, I use Practices #3, 4 and 5 in my book. I also work with a mentor who asks me the questions I'm not always willing or able to ask myself. Together we route out and heal the pain from my past that created these mental blocks.
If you're feeling overwhelmed by all this, go easy on yourself. Start your forgiveness practice by simply focusing on forgiving the things that occur each day. In a few months time you'll be ready for the deeper work. In fact, you'll want the deeper work because you'll be starting to feel better about your life and you'll want to see how much better you are capable of feeling. Start out slow, but make the mental commitment to become a regular forgiver. If you do so, the universe will deliver you gifts. You'll receive the tools and knowing you need to make this happen in your life.
