Breaking Free from Resentment: Tools to Reclaim Your Peace

Resentment is a powerful feeling. When we have them, they can control us. They can make us upset, they can make us obsessed, but once we make the decision to change them, we regain our own power.
Ever felt like you're carrying a heavy burden of anger that just won't go away? That's resentment for you. In this episode of 'Brandler Bits', therapist Jeffrey M. Brandler dives into what resentment really is and why it's so damaging to our well-being. Resentment is that nagging feeling of anger or displeasure over a perceived wrong, and it's like drinking poison and expecting the other person to suffer.
But don't worry, Jeff's got your back with practical tools to help you let go of these toxic feelings. From physical activities like running or hitting a punching bag to relaxation techniques like meditation and yoga, Jeff offers a range of strategies to help you shift that negative energy. He also talks about the power of writing—whether it's journaling or penning an unsent letter to the person you're resentful towards—as a way to process and release those emotions.
Jeff emphasizes that acknowledging how much resentment is hurting you is the first step towards letting it go. Once you do, you'll feel like a weight has been lifted off your shoulders, making room for positive energy and a calmer mind. If you're ready to stop giving yourself the 'gift' of resentment and start reclaiming your peace, this episode is a must-listen.
