The problem is though is that I still feel very stuck in the past. I have done things that I regret and am not proud of and I still have problems letting these things go.
The stupid thing is that I know that thinking about the past won't change it.
I want to grow and move forward but am finding it difficult because I keep looking backwards, thinking I wish I hadn't done that or if only I didn't do that...Its almost like I want a clean break, I accept responsiblity for my behaviour in the past but I feel that its difficult to move forward when it is still hanging over me..
Has anyone else experienced this, if so any advise... |
Someone told me it's good to replay the past how you would have liked it to go. This does sound strange to me as it didn't go that way so why imagine something else. But apparently this works for some people.
What i do is allow myself to have emotions about the past and think about it. Then i always look forward afterwards and try and feel excited about improving or learning from the past.
Also, do u believe everything happens for a reason? If u do this could give you comfort - try and find meaning and learning in the past and use those lessons to create a better future xxx
