Let's dive in to this topic that can seem so heavy, but we all have to navigate at some point. Kristen and Kris Ashley discuss letting go for your own well being, forgiveness and the Law of Attraction.

Takeaways:

Forgiveness is not about excusing someone's behavior, but about letting go of anger and resentment for our own well-being.

The law of attraction states that what we focus on, we bring into our reality.

Our thoughts, beliefs, and emotions shape our reality and can influence the circumstances and people we attract.

Taking responsibility for our own lives and beliefs is key to personal growth and transformation.

Practical ways to forgive include visualization exercises, journaling, and releasing emotions through physical modalities.

Changing our perspective and beliefs can lead to healing, growth, and the manifestation of our desires.

Her book, Change Your Mind To Change Your Reality, has been endorsed by 3 experts from The Secret (Michael Beckwith, Bob Doyle, and Marci Shimoff), Anita Moorjani, John Gray, and many others in the spiritual and personal development space.
