The best place to start with this topic is by understanding what you can gain from letting go of the past. We tend to focus on what might be lost and frequently overlook what the benefits of taking this step are. Try to imagine a life already free of images and thoughts from the past inhibiting you in the present. Imagine how it would feel if you maintained positive memories, ones that energized you rather than ones that drained you. Carrying negative aspects of the past with you prevents you from feeling and knowing what the present has to offer. Sometimes you may be so entangled in old problems that you cannot see the changes that are necessary to make your life better. For this you will need to “clear out the deadwood” and make space for the new, that is: your life now. You know that the past is the past; nevertheless you are still caught up in it through strong emotions. Intellectually you understand what is going on but somehow your emotions do not. Some thoughts to motivate you to move on:
4 exercises to try out: The emotions can be anything from pain, frustration, anger, confusion, and disappointment, even ones that have “no name”!
