Have You Ever Been Bitter 10 Straight to Help you overcome

INTRODUCTION
Have You Ever Been Bitter? Bitterness is the anger and disappointment that we exhibit whether intrinsically or extrinsically after being treated unfairly over a specific situation. In our lifetime, we will experience bitterness in one way or the other because we live in an unfair world and people may take decisions or actions which may lead us to be bitter or resentful.

EFFECTS
The effect of bitterness are numerous and includes depression, anxiety, emotional pain, self-defeating, distrust, undermine your physical health, increase your stress level, self-doubt and weakening your personal ideals.

If any of these effects linger on in you, then your bitterness towards your perceived wrongdoer will persist and become inflamed and the consequences cannot be comprehended and may have negative impact on your lifestyle and sense of well-being.

REMEDY
The first and ultimate step towards curing your bitterness is to forgive your perceived “violator” and empower yourself to move on.
