Mindful Monday: Ultimate Weight Loss

Happy 2026! 

People often start a new year with goals, typically focusing around health and fitness. The most common goal being to lose weight. 

But did you know that the ultimate weight loss is forgiveness? 🤯 (read that again) 

While we ask our students and even our personal children to forgive their classmates or siblings, as adults, we are not always quick to do so. Maybe our life experience has led us to be weary of others. Maybe the same person in our life has done us wrong multiple times. Perhaps the wounds are still fresh. 

But at the end of the day, how much are you holding on to? How many others are living 'rent free" in your head? How much is disrupting your inner peace? It's time to forgive. It's time to move on. It's time to lose that heaviness. There is no better time to shed that extra weight than now. 

Here's the takeaway, when you forgive someone, it's NOT for them, it's for YOU. 

So as we start another calendar year, consider losing what’s no longer serving you. Here's to us all letting go of the extra baggage we've gotten so used to carrying around. Try forgiveness- not for them, but for you.
