Soul Stimulation is not your average blog, its a resource of motivation for your soul (YOUR mind, YOUR will, YOUR emotions). Allow the articles, which are written by various writers, to incite your dormant places and excite your bored places. No matter your race, gender, religion, sexuality, or age...become reinvented as your soul becomes stimulated.



IT'S TIME TO LET IT GO

We all have experienced offense in some way or form, by something or someone. Sadly, this all too familiar act too often becomes an impediment instead of a stepping stone for some. I've come to the conclusion based on my own experience, that in order to keep my life healthy and productive, I have to be  willing to let things and people go when they've offended me. If offense is overworking your soul, do something about it. Stop walking around offended and regain your peace. Here's a good way to start:

1. FORGIVE
Generally, forgiveness is a decision to let go of resentment and thoughts of revenge. The act that hurt or offended you might always remain a part of your life, but forgiveness can lessen its grip on you and help you focus on other, positive parts of your life. Forgiveness can even lead to feelings of understanding, empathy and compassion for the one who hurt you.

2. COMMIT TO LETTING GO
Some things take time to let go, so commit to changing, because you recognize that you're only hurting yourself by not letting go.Carrying around negative feelings drain your resources.Not letting go adds more stress and anxiety to your mindset and physical body. 

3. EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO CHOOSE TO MOVE ON
Realize you have a choice. You cannot control the actions of others, and shouldn’t try. But you can control your actions and your thoughts. Stop reliving the hurt, and choose to move on. You have this power. You just need to learn how to exercise it. If you dwell on hurtful events or situations, grudges filled with resentment, vengeance and hostility can take root. If you allow negative feelings to crowd out positive feelings, you might find yourself swallowed up by your own bitterness or sense of injustice.

4. UNDERSTAND YOUR RESPONSIBILITY
Try to figure out how or if you could have been partially responsible for what happened. Realize that you are not a victim but a participant in life.

5. FOCUS ON THE PRESENT
Realize that the past is over. It isn’t happening anymore, except in your mind. Bring your focus back to the present moment. Find the joy in life now, as it happens, and stop reliving the past.You may start thinking about the past, but just acknowledge that, and gently bring yourself back to the present 

6. ALLOW PEACE TO ENTER IN
Release the pain and the past. Let peace enter your life. Go forward, thinking no longer of the past, but of peace and the present. Enjoy today and start looking forward to the future.
