Sometimes thoughts about events that happened in the distant past, regrets about mistakes made do not allow you to enjoy the present and prevent you from making plans for the future. To let go of what was, and live in the here and now, you need to understand yourself.
Instructions
Step 1
Realize that the past cannot be returned. Understand that you have become a different person, live in a different time and must be in the present with your thoughts. To accept the futility of immersing yourself in the past again and again is to take the first step towards living in the present.
Step 2
Analyze those events from your past, thoughts about which do not allow you to live peacefully. It is important to work on your own mistakes and draw constructive conclusions for the future. Correct your behavior, learn from the past, become smarter, wiser and more experienced.
Step 3
Trust that everything leads you to the best. No matter how events develop, in the end they develop in the best way for you. Don't see it yet. This only means that fate has not finished weaving its bizarre pattern.
Step 4
Understand that thoughts greatly influence what happens in your life. Negativeness, guilt, and regret can negatively affect the circumstances around you. Send your thoughts in a different, positive direction, and you will see how the world around you will change.
Step 5
Take a break from thinking about the past. Perhaps you still remember the past only because in the present you lack strong, vivid, positive impressions. Try to make your life a little more complete, fulfilling, a little crazy. New events, acquaintances, occupations, impressions should supplant sad thoughts about what was once.
Step 6
Try to pay more attention to what is happening here and now. Try to wake up, wake up from obsessive thoughts and immerse yourself in the present moment. Focus on your surroundings or what you are doing at the moment. Don't live automatically.
