How do I know when I truly want to start forgiveness?

A key issue is this: Have you explored what forgiveness is and is not? If you are confusing forgiveness with “just giving in,” or “moving on,” or automatically reconciling without trusting the person, then you may not be ready to start the forgiveness process. If you know what forgiveness is, are you motivated to forgive? As an analogy, how do you know when you are ready to start an exercise program? You first know the kinds of exercises that will benefit you, and you have the motivation to give them a try. I think it is similar with forgiveness.
