Many of us live in the past, remembering unpleasant events every day. It is important to learn to forget about what happened in order to live without resentment, aggression or remorse.
How do you let go of the past?
In order to let go of the past, you need to go through several stages:
1. Re-live a traumatic situation.
No matter how painful it is, unfortunately, there is no way without it. Live what is happening in the smallest detail, stopping at every unpleasant event.
2. Consider what lessons this situation could teach.
Every person in our life is a teacher, so we must think about what conclusion can be drawn from everything that happens.
3. Forgiveness.
Since we already realized that we pulled this situation ourselves, and it was just a lesson for us, it is important to let go of the past without holding any evil or resentment against anyone.
4. Getting rid of material signs.
At this stage, we must remember what reminded us of the past. All this is done only in order to remove anchors that can be irritants. You can return to the same actions, but a little later, when you come to your senses and calm down after a traumatic situation.
5. Never go back and do not react to memories.
If suddenly a thought about the past settles in your head, then immediately discard it. If it becomes difficult to concentrate, then write on a piece of paper and burn it, or just watch as your thoughts try to drag you back to the old. Don't try to fight, let it happen as a natural process.
Do not give up and understand that you have crossed onto a new road and will never return to the old one …
