How do I let go of my past?

Make friends with it . You will never be able to run away fro. It it will catch up so stop acknowledge accept and slowly start moving forward. One step at a time

Focus a lot on what is happening now. Have a focus for today. Something that makes you feel good about yourself

You have to try to focus on the present by releasing those negative feelings and thinking positive thoughts

Letting go is a skill we can all learn. Mindfulness exercises help us see what it feels like. After that it's simply a matter of substituting memories of what it is to feel relaxed when troublesome memories occur. Like all skills it is easier to talk about this one after you have mastered it then it is to believe it is possible before you have mastered it. Living is learning.

the best thing to do is to focus on the now and think about the future.. use the past as a lesson and not a crutch.

Concentrate on the future, not the past. Remember that 'every cloud has a silver lining' in the end!

Go outside. Run, run and run until you get tired. You see, you should stop dwelling about the past. Once you run, make your you get yourself so tired. Now, look at the sky and tell yourself "This is the new me and the present me, there is no such thing as the past, there is only the present."

By forgiving yourself and others and accepting who you are now regardless of whatever happened back in the day.

Reconciling yourself with it and forgiving yourself and others where possible. Those are the two main steps towards letting go. Everyone has something in their past that to this day sticks in their craw, it's how you view your past that makes a difference to whether or not you carry that into your future. You might need to talk about something you've never talked of before before fully expunging it. On that basis you might need to get professional help to let go of a few things and it's a very helpful way to get a different perspective on things. Or maybe just talking to a friend about things might dislodge the wedge they have in your brain. While the past to an extent shapes us, it doesn't define us or stop us from getting up tomorrow morning and experiencing a new day. Don't let it get in the way of everything you want to do or become.

The past is a difficult concept. Just when we think we are over it, something reminds us. A photo, a song, a place. Some memories are beautiful, others not so much. You keep taking each day once at a time, you continue to walk forward and one day the past won't hurt so much anymore. Because you'll realise the future you were hoping for, is what you are living.
