July 7 recognizes Global Forgiveness Day on the National Day Calendar as a to encourage forgiveness as part of an element of personal health. Let’s all make an effort to be more forgiving today.
A University of Wisconsin study regarding forgiveness found forgiving people suffered less from certain illnesses. On the other hand, less forgiving people suffered a higher number of health problems. Withholding forgiveness causes stress, which can lead to physical symptoms like – anxiety, high blood pressure, and depression. Holding onto forgiveness may cause negative emotions and problems with anger and frustration.
CECA founded National Forgiveness Day in 1994 in Victoria, British Columbia. As the celebration grew, they renamed it Global Forgiveness Day.
