Painful memories shouldn't become an obsession. If you feel that you are stuck in the past, then it’s time to apply some strength so as not to get bogged down in this endless swamp of melancholy and sadness.
How sometimes you want to throw away some painful memories of the past from life. However, they annoyingly "drill the brain", forcing to return to the traumatic experience over and over again. So gradually a person begins to live in the past, the present is seen in a black light, it seems that there will be nothing good in life.
In most cases, this condition is typical for people who have lost their loved ones. They begin to dwell on the tragic moment and feel their uselessness and meaninglessness of existence in this world. However, you need to realize that nothing in life happens just like that. A difficult psychological experience of loss is given to an individual, paradoxically as it may sound, for healing and reassessment of values.
The main ways to let go of memories include the following:
- put all the things of the person who left you in one box and hide somewhere far away;
- make repairs in the living space;
- find a hobby that would distract you from sad thoughts;
- visit a psychologist;
- do auto-training to gain positive thinking.
The experience of loss and memories of the past is always traumatic. It resembles a viscous swamp, in which the most important thing is not to get bogged down.
