I have learned to make bigger and better memories. The more memories you make, the more they will overwhelm all those other memories from your past that you won't even want to think about them. Life will be all about living in the present and it makes life worth living when you're constantly making great memories. I have learned that everyday I should strive to have something to remember and that makes so many more memories along the way. Big or small I will have more good memories than bad so there will be no point of thinking of anything from the past.

If memories from the past are not good and are haunting you, one way of possibly forgetting those bad moments would be creating new ones ! Another form would be writing down in a piece of paper all the details about them and then ripping the paper off and getting rid of it . In that sense all those thoughts and details are written and can now be left in the past. Keeping busy is another way of forgetting bad memories being physical and staying active can keep you focus on things that are in the present rather than the past.

Start off by identifying your triggers. You can do this by taking a step back and tracing the roots of when you began feeling this way. There is a root to every problem, you just need to find yours in order to get past it! And sometimes, talking to someone you trust, preferably an adult, can help! You do not have to go through anything alone and often talking to someone or perhaps writing/journaling about how you feel can help you get things into perspective! this way, you identify the root of your problem and can find ways to get past this issue!

I have gone to therapy for 10 years to heal from my trauma and from my experience, you can never forget trauma. They will forever be a part of me and my story. But, it no longer controls my life or defines who I am. I can think about it without crying or without getting sad. I have learned to grow from that experience and turn it into something good. Its really really hard. But it is possible. In conclusion, it is all about learning to coexist with those memories. Over time, you won't think about it as much. best of luck!

Time can be a great healer for bad memories of your past. It can take a while but in the meantime you can find things that will make you distract yourself like painting, going out, listening to music/watching movies, spending time with a pet or anything that will take your mind off of those memories. Journalling your thoughts can be also a good way to express what you're feeling. You can also write what is making you upset and throw the paper far away as if it were flying away from you. This can give you comfort and you can give it a try!

It’s not easy to forget about the things that caused pain to us and haunt us later on, we can learn to forgive, forgiving gives us a sense of freedom, once you feel you have forgave recognize those moment as a lesson recognizes patterns and try to guide yourself through a wiser Version of your self, it is always our choice how to overcome this phases of our lives, when you were a child you had to learn and listen to what you were told, as you grew up you also learn the capability of decide what way to guide your life in a positive, kind, compassionate and loving way your get to choose, no one will love your life for you but you choose what will make you happy.

By learning to value myself that maybe I did bad or made a mistake but now I will handle it more accurately because of my experience.
Nobody is perfect but improving ourselves can help us to feel our worth.
My worth is decided by me.
My future is decided by me.
My memories are mine I can't erase it. I can't ignore them. I can't forget them. But I can learn to live with them by learning and improving from my mistakes.
Memories can be made so I'll try to make wonderful memories that will help me to feel good about myself.
I love myself

You can reframe your bad memories so they aren't so dominating . Look into the matrix technique. You can choose to neutralise these memories and refile them . For me, i struggle with the memories fracturing and different elements of the fragments getting triggered but disconnected from the source memory. It is helpful to remember , not to forget , but just redefine our emotional relationship to it . I hope this is helpful to you . Ive tried to forget, block out , dissociate, but it all comes back up in ways we don't expect . ACCEPT, REFRAME and the power of the NOW. If you dont remember the past , how do you know you are truely in the present?

While we may desperately want to forget bad memories right away, it takes time for them to fade. Finding ways to move past bad memories means empathizing with yourself in the meantime: they are a heavy burden to bare and you are just trying your best. In short, if you want to "forget" about bad memories- maybe it is time to create some new good memories. In short, you may be able to move past "bad" memories by creating new "good" memories. If these "bad" memories were traumatic, actively trying to get help processing them is crucial to your mental health and well-being. They will not go away, and they will not change until you address them.

You can forget about the bad memories of the past by accepting them and then moving on. The first and most important step is accepting what has happened in your way. You can do this by breaking what has happened into little digestable pieces that are easier to. swallow. That way, once it is in smaller pieces, it may not seem as bad and scary than it would be as a whole. Once it has been broken down, you can begin by manipulating each piece into sommething less scary. Take control of it and change the way you feel.
