1) Forgive Yourself. It always takes two or more people to create a situation, so don't blame yourself or others. Focus on the situation and less on the person/s. The situation is about what you do NOW... to heal and develop a sense of peace regardless of the past.

2) Control Your Emotions. By telling yourself that you "had it" with this negative thought or grudge, you decided you are NOT letting this particular emotion rule you. You are in control and you will do things in future to prevent it from repeating or happening.

3) Your Rights. Forgiveness is emotional, almost spiritual. It is deep and what affects our inner mind affects the outcome and our actions. To be emotionally healthy and physically safe is a given right to anyone.

4) Understanding. Forgiveness is not denial and has no time limit. To let go, one need to understand the situation, the why, when, what, and how. Then find a solution that you can live with or a compromise within your limits. Because it is about you and not others.

5) Putting It In A Box. Weather someone apologise to you is inconsequential. Apologies should be offered as an effort of true remorse and acknowledgement that taking personal responsibility for the situation is important. Make a conscious decision to forgive, put it in box and let it go. Bottom line, it is how you deal with this situation that affects your life and your outcome.
