Step 5

Cancel the debt:
As we have worked through our injuries and emotions we may have felt a sense of someone owing us something.  That is useful because it helps us identify where we are holding our emotional IOU’s and where we need to forgive.  It might help to do something physical as you cancel the emotional debts… maybe you should take the list of hurts/wrongs and write canceled across them.  Some have even burned the list to show it is dead and gone.  We then need not be bothered by the nagging thought that maybe we didn’t fully forgive because our mind can go back to that moment and remember what we did.  We know it happened.  We know it was real.
