People often don't want to leave the past. After all, it was in this period of time that they felt good. There were many events that filled the days with meaning. Now it is possible to return to such a time only in memories. This brings pain to a person.
Instructions
Step 1
If events are associated with the loss of a loved one, do not try to forget him. You won't succeed. Do not look for the guilty and, moreover, do not blame yourself for what happened. Correcting mistakes and self-blame are not appropriate here.
Step 2
Allow yourself to be sad. Decide on a time frame in which you can allow yourself to grieve about what happened. During this time, do not keep emotions in yourself. Complain to people, cry, hit walls and pillows. Give freedom to your emotions. Once the deadline is over, return to a fulfilling life.
Step 3
Arrange a formal transition to a new life. Organize a tea or dinner party. Invite friends or family to it. Let it be a small celebration of farewell to a past life. Now you have a new period in which there is no more pain.
Step 4
Don't remember the past. Thus, you will return there over and over again. Better imagine the future as you want it to be. If you are used to thinking about the past, then at first it will be difficult for you to switch. But a couple of weeks of practice will get the job done.
Step 5
Keep busy. Master a new profession or improve the skills of an already chosen one. Classes make you immerse yourself in the business and do not give you the opportunity to be sad. New skills fill your life with meaning, thereby displacing the past. The main thing is that the chosen activity is to your liking.
Step 6
Think back to the time when you enjoyed life and bring yourself back. Do what inspires you, meet new people, smile. Make each new day brighter than the past.
