Are thoughts from your past still holding you back from enjoying and living in the moment?
If your past does not inspire you or motivate you to become a better version of yourself, your best bet would be to dump it and let it go.
Make peace with your past, but refuse to be a victim of whatever mistakes or errors that might have happened.
“A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new”
1. The Trigger
Once you’ve identified the trigger, ask yourself questions like “What lessons have this taught me?” If it’s a case whereby you offended someone or vice versa, now is the best time to make peace with the individual and forgive them entirely.
If it’s something you have absolutely no control over and no way of amending, accept the flaw/mistake and move on.
release yourself from your past and not allow it to stop you from enjoying a greater future.
2.Embrace Change
Change is constant and inevitable! Live of what happened in the past, you can learn from it and improve yourself. Don’t let your mistakes change you; change them instead, and strive to become better.
Let your past stay in the past!
3. Accept That You Cannot Always Control Everything
“You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you, and in that, you’ll be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you”
Stop punishing yourself for things that are out of your control.
4. Live In The NOW
Yesterday ended last night. It’s a new day; you’re looking forward to weeks, months, and years ahead that are enough to rewrite your story.
Identify what you’re missing in the present and live fully in the moment. Lay aside the worries of yesterday, enjoy today, plan for the future, but be flexible with the process to avoid feeling frustrated.
5. Learn From Your Past And Become A Better Person
Own your mistakes. Forgive yourself. Free yourself from guilt and shame
That way, you’ll free yourself from the limitations of the past and be at peace with yourself.
