Psychology explains people who forgive easily aren't weak or naive - they've simply done the math on what resentment actually costs the person carrying it and decided the debt isn't worth collecting, because forgiveness isn't about the other person deserving peace, it's about refusing to let someone who already hurt you once continue to take up space in a body they no longer have any right to occupy - Silicon Canals

Forgiveness is essential for personal well-being and mental health, freeing individuals from the burden of resentment.

Psychology says people who find genuine peace after 60 didn't get there by solving their problems - they got there by finally accepting which ones were never going to be solved and releasing the grip they'd been keeping on a version of life that was never coming, and that surrender isn't giving up, it's the first honest breath most people take in decades - Silicon Canals

Why doing a mix of exercise could be the key to longer life

Don't put all your eggs in one basket when it comes to exercise - doing a variety of different physical activities every week is the key to boosting your health and living longer, a study suggests. After tracking the weekly exercise habits of 110,000 men and women in the US for 30 years, researchers found active people who did the greatest variety of exercise were 19% less likely to die during that time than those who focused on one activity. That effect was greater than for individual sports like walking, tennis, rowing and jogging. The total amount of exercise you do is still key, experts say, but doing a range of activities you enjoy can bring lots of benefits.
