How do I let go of my past?

You own it. You feel it. You acknowledge what happened and what you learned from it, and then you let those teachings guide you into the future. You find a way to re-build your life by slowly fostering interest in new (or old and forgotten) hobbies/activities. You accept where you are in your current life, accept the hurt and the shame and the anger and any other negative emotions, and you find a way to work around it. Honestly, nobody on this website can tell you how to let go of your past. You know that answer better than anyone. Now you just need to start doing whatever it is that you need to do.

Find what you can do to improve your self in way that when you are faced with a similar situation, you can deal with it. Focus on YOU. Thinking about the past WILL NOT change a thing! There is no point in thinking about it and feeling stressed and anxious about things you cannot change. What you CAN do is becoming better than who you were yesterday. Every day is a new opportunity for you to learn and improve. If it has to do with love, the only thing I want to say is this: Everyone is trying to find the right one, but no one is trying to BE the right one. The only reason to look back is to learn from your mistakes.

It can be tough to let go of things we have experienced often because the mind likes to have things reconciled before moving on. With the wisdom we gain through experience we look back and wonder why things were so. Part of letting go is helped by forgiving ourselves, and forgiving others. Not because we accept the past but because we look back with wisdom. If you're willing (and it's safe), you can imagine a separate 'virtual version' of yourself going back in time to learn and understand from the experience. This can help free up your current thinking to be in the present while 'another you' goes off and takes care of the experience for you.

The past is something that shaped us. But by living in the current moment, observing the reality AS IT IS right now, you realize that in the NOW, there are no problems. You re-create the old problems over and over by thinking about them and _defining_ them as negative. There are neither good nor bad experiences, only experiences; and it is your power to define the way you see them. This can be your greatest power if you understand that it is YOU that gives the definition. YOU create your own hell, no one else does. Bad things happen to everyone, there is no question about it. Your advancing/growing/learning highly depends on your ability to change your point of view. If people treated you badly, try understanding their limited perspective: they have/had problems, too. Rather pity and forgive them their weakness as you just understood that you have outgrown this negative energy as you are reading this sentence. If people were not involved, _accept_ that this is the reality as it is. There are reasons for everything in life and ultimately it will lead you to become a better version of yourself. You cannot change what happened. So your option is either to make peace with it (which is ALWAYS possible) or keep on degenerating by carrying negative emotions for the rest of your life. The choice is yours. Giving attention is giving energy. Stop the victim-mentality and become the architect of your own life who projects into the future in a positive way rather than dwelling in the past which doesnt exist. If you think you cannot do it, you MUST work on your self-confidence first. This is most important. You are the creator, realize it.

Letting go of anything is not easy at alll, however it's not impossible either, with a will to do and make consistent efforts ,it's very much possible. We tend to hold onto things longe than we should sometimes and past being one of those , in order to let go of our past , we need to accept it, once we accept what happened and stop questioning on why it happened, it becomes easier to accept., learn the lesson. , and just move on from it . The past event no longer exists or aids to us in any way, so it's important to realise that holding on will only bring more pain and sadness, and a better and viable option will be to let go of the event and remember what it taught us , and move on to a better present and future .❤🌻

. Let it go let it go let it go think of the past as something that has already occurred and has been dealt with. Don’t let your past haunt you for what is already done is done. Though we may regret, we need to forgive ourselves and we’ll as love ourselves. At some point life comes back to us but we must learn to move on and strengthen ourselves for the new day. Past may be a struggling matter and we all have our past but we need to learn to let go and continue our daily lives as a better person. :)

I think you get to let go of your past once you have forgiven yourself, everyone and everything that has happened in the past. That does not mean you will or should forget it though. You will need some time to let go of it, maybe try thinking about the good in it too. That is what i did and honestly it helped me at some part and it took me about 2 years. I cannot promise you that you will completely let go of it, but it is worth trying. Good luck and do not lose faith easily. :)

By allowing yourself of more time and starting a new routine. Let go will happen, but it will take time depending on your willingness and efforts. Start with baby steps. You already started letting by asking this question. steps for everyday- 1 set sleep routine 2 set eating routine 3 set work/study routine 4 make sure to talk to a friend/listener/family 1 time at least everyday 5 watch movie/go outside for walk/any light activity atleast once aweek 6 be loving towards self every moment Past will always be part of your life. Its memories pop up less frequently as you move forward. *i believe in you*

You can never forget your past, but you can move on. Focus on the things that are important to you NOW and keep them in your head instead of the negative things
