Forgiveness Frees You — Not Them

Forgiveness is often misunderstood. It’s not about excusing bad behavior or giving someone a free pass. It’s not about pretending harm never happened. True forgiveness is about you reclaiming your energy, your peace, and your sovereignty.

The Weight of Holding On: Holding onto anger, resentment, or past pain is like carrying a backpack full of stones. Every memory, every hurt, every “what if” adds weight. You’re constantly reacting, second-guessing, and tethering your present to a past that no longer serves you.

Spiritually, emotionally, and even physically, this weight interferes with your ability to move freely in life. It clouds your judgment, drains your energy, and keeps your personal power in the hands of someone else’s story.




Forgiveness is an act of defiance : Personal sovereignty is your ability to govern your own energy, choices, and life path. When you forgive, you are not absolving someone else’s actions; you are freeing yourself from their influence. It’s a declaration:


“I am no longer allowing past hurt to define me or control how I show up in the world.”

Forgiveness becomes a tool of liberation, a reset button for your life. It’s the conscious act of reclaiming your emotional and spiritual authority.


How to Practice Sovereign Forgiveness:

  1. Acknowledge the pain. Don’t minimize it. Name it, feel it, validate it.

  2. Release attachment. You can release resentment without excusing behavior.

  3. Shift perspective. See how holding on has limited your growth and peace.

  4. Affirm your freedom. Use mantras like:

    “I release the past and forgive everyone. I am free to move into a new, glorious experience.”

  5. Move forward intentionally. Reclaim your energy for goals, joy, and connection.



Forgiveness is an act of radical self-care and empowerment. It doesn’t change the past, and it doesn’t change others—but it changes you. Every act of letting go is a step toward sovereignty, freedom, and living life on your own terms.
