How to let go of anger, bitterness and resentment

Overcoming resentment, bitterness and anger takes work… but it’s better than letting it eat away at your soul and becoming nasty and miserable! Anger and bitterness is actually making things worse. With time and effort you can learn to feel less anger and bitterness, forgive someone who wronged you, let go of resentment and also figure out how to stop bringing up the past, so that you can focus on moving forward with your life and gain greater peace of mind.

In this latest video, linked with the Let’s Talk About Mental Health podcast, I’m talking about how to stop feeling angry and bitter to improve your mental health. I'll explain how to work through resentment and how to stop being resentful. It’s time to stop feeling resentful, stop holding a grudge, and finally let go of resentment and anger.

Ready to stop feeling resentful? Then let’s talk! 🙂

Thank you so much for this. It's very helpful, and insightful❤

You have no idea how much I need this video... there's this one person I work with who thinks that he can insult or talk over me (and others) instead of taking responsibility for his words and actions. I know I shouldn't have to tolerate this nonsense, and yet, the resentment only shows its ugly head in me whenever I don't speak up for myself. I know my faults and weaknesses... I know that being assertive, for me at least, is still a work in progress. I'm just done with this situation as a whole. 😤😓

Omg !! This hit so different than any video . I’m bitter and angry . Ive held on to pass hurt over 28 years . Since I’m older now I’m a bitter and angry old lady . If I can just figure out the second step so I can move on to the third step . I’ve acknowledged I’m a grudge holder, bitter and angry at everything. I self isolate so my negativity doesn’t affect others .

Great advice, thank you for laying a path in simple steps, it is empowering

I always find your videos most helpful! Short, sweet, to the point and yet very powerful! I get what I need when I need it! I can relate to holding a resentment and I notice after the mind the body will follow. i.e. I am physically also worn down. Not worth it! I'm the only one paying the price! Thank you so much for keeping me on track! Your video is also reinforcement for me as well!!!

I liked that your presentation was 5 minutes (not 20 of waffle). I like your pleasant neutral, encouraging voice, no music and no peculiar visuals.

Thank you! I think it helps to talk to someone too. Friend or family some agreed with me, but that didn't help. So I spoke to someone today that we see once a month and that helped too. Different opinions helped me let go of resentment towards another person, listening to you today just makes what I thought clearer.
She said I only need to focus on my path not the other persons and tell myself ok that person pissed me off but I don't need that anymore and you can go now I'm done with that and don't need it anymore.
Probably practice would make things like this easier to let go I guess

I like the video and have done all those things...still doing them but still, things get to me and it's continuing to be a problem. Stuff about past abuse and feeling ripped off.

What I realized as I watched this video, is while _"this always happens to me."_ It's because I didn't learn the lesson the first time!!!

Example...
My half brother was always borrowing money, but never repaying it.
I SHOULD have learned sooner to STOP GIVING HIM MONEY!!!
Duh!!!🤦

As it is, when I had no more to give (because they had NEVER REPAID ME!!!) Him, my mother, and step family ALL turned against me like a pack of wild dogs.

I have been resentful because I helped them repeatedly for DECADES.
Yet when I needed help, all they had were excuses.

As toxic as they are, I should have cut ties decades earlier!

I had accepted the fact they hated me (they stopped hiding it during the last fight). But my resentment has lingered these years later.

The truth is, this IS my fault; because deep down I knew what they were. I loved them in spite of it, and hoped they would "get better". But they are NOT sick. They chose to live that way. I should have accepted that sooner.

If a dog bites you, and you keep it. Then it bites you again and again, it's not the dog's fault. It obviously doesn't like you! _It's your fault you keep getting bit, because you don't get rid of the dog!!!_

I realize I'm angry at MYSELF for not cutting those toxic people out of my life sooner. For wasting so much time and money on people that HATED ME.
Worse, I've been wasting more time reliving it, because I'm mad at ME!

I see that now. I had already forgiven them. Now I need to work on forgiving myself. That's who I'm still mad at! Thanks for helping me see it.
If you have any videos about forgiving oneself, please respond with a link. Thanks!

Hate, anger, resentment and cynicism are the most powerful engine there is.

If all this power is only used as a weapon of destruction to wreak havoc all over you.

Trust me it's not worth it.

I don’t want a fucking learning opportunity. I’m sick and tired of shit happening to me. I want people to have these same emotions I have.
