- Write down a stressful concept about someone you haven’t forgiven 100%, such as “He doesn’t care about me” or “I did it wrong.”
- Answer question #1: Is it true? Respond with only “yes” or “no.”
- If the answer to #1 is “no,” skip to question #3.
- Answer question #2: Can you absolutely know that it’s true? Respond with only “yes” or “no.”
- Answer question #3: How do you react, what happens, when you believe that thought?
- Use applicable sub-questions to explore the emotional, physical, mental, and behavioral effects of believing the thought.
- Reflect on where and when the thought first occurred, whose business you are in mentally, the payoff for holding onto the belief, fears of not believing it, and what you are unable to do while believing it.
