These bad emotions don't do anything good for us 3. So you might ask yourself-is it possible to put down this heavy burden (负担) and give yourself a 4？It is quite possible. Start by actually looking at your feelings. How do they get inside of us? Why do we carry them for so long instead of putting them down? Can we live 5 them?

By thinking about our bad emotions, we can find healthy ways to 6 them. Unhealthy behaviors are not the way to do this. They provide no relief. Instead, there are better ways to handle them. One of the best ways is forgiveness (原谅).

Forgiveness is a powerful tool. We should forgive 7 first. We shouldn't keep bad emotions inside. We must also forgive others who have made us guilty or angry. This is not always easy. But 8 we learn to forgive ourselves, it becomes easier to forgive others as well.

There is nothing good about carrying years of emotional burdens. By forgiving ourselves and others, we can put down our burdens and feel better about ourselves. 9 you do this, you will start to feel a lot lighter. Years of heaviness will be magically lifted! You'll start to feel like you have more 10 and you'll be much happier with your life.
