Sometimes, it’s easy to dwell on the past and what could have been. Especially if we experience pain or hurt from old wounds, however, it’s essential to learn how to let go of the past to move forward. Here are some tips on how to do just that.
Avoid social media
A big part of moving on from the past is to avoid dwelling on it. Social media can be a massive trigger for this. Every time you log on, you’re bombarded with images and updates of what everyone else is doing. It can make it hard to move on from your past, especially if you see that everyone else seems to be doing just fine. If you struggle, take a break from social media or even delete your accounts.
Talk to a therapist
If you’re having trouble letting go of the past on your own, it may be helpful to talk to a therapist. They can help you work through your feelings and give you the tools to deal with them. A therapist can also help you identify patterns in your thinking that may keep you stuck in the past.
Please write it down
One way to help let go of the past is to write it down. Get a journal and write about what happened, how it made you feel, and why you’re ready to move on. It can be a therapeutic exercise to help you release any pent-up emotions.
