How to leave your negative past behind and enjoy the present!

 

“Hold up your cup here is some positive tea that I want to pour out for you”.

 

There are some people in our lives who enter like hurricanes or tornados, destroying everything in their path. If you’re not careful, they can take over your life and leave you feeling physically and mentally drained.

There are some doors that take a long time to close, and when that finally does occur, we should not, under any circumstances, by any means, open them again.

The fact is we never experience a life without pain and we are afraid that we are not capable of it. Or worse, we are afraid that we don’t deserve it.

Trust me, YOU DESERVE TO BE HAPPY, AND FREE! Reopening the door to your past sucks the happiness out of your life, makes you stressed, and hurts your ability to focus and to push yourself forward.

Give yourself a chance to live your best life to the fullest and let the past go!

If no one has told you, let me be the first to say:

It’s okay to…

Ignore phone calls and messages

Tell them that you want to be left alone

Block them on social media if need be

 

“Some people believe holding on and hanging in there are signs of great strength. However, there are times when it takes much more strength to know when to let go and then do it.” ―Ann Landers

 

Don’t be ashamed, don’t feel stupid. I, likewise, have experienced difficulties with leaving things in the past.

So, if you’re currently dealing with this process, you may feel a bit awkward, and that’s OK. This feeling is normal. I’ve realized that if all you do is attempt to commemorate or focus on something that has already happened, you’re missing out. You may say, “Sir, what am I missing out?” Ok, here’s the answer: The mental or psychological space you create by letting go of things that are already behind you gives you the ability to fill the space with something fresh and fun.

“Why stay in the old, when you can walk in the NEW?” -Lyoshi Esters

“The greatest step towards a life of simplicity is to learn to let go.” ― Steve Maraboli

Slavery is a thing of the past, but by clutching or holding on to something, you are making yourself a slave and those meaningless things you refuse to let go of become your master.

Don’t go back and reopen the door. Walk away and leave your past.

 

Let’s Talk About Relationships

Sometimes relationships can be saved and passions rekindled. And sometimes we know that when something is over, it needs to remain over.

We’ve all been told: “You’re too good for him/her!” “You can do better!” And yet we STILL DON’T LISTEN. You know you’re being treated carelessly, and that you deserve more. Yet, you sit staring at your phone, waiting for him/her to text or call you back. You believe and envision that eventually he/she will know your worth, and as consequence you will win!

Let me tell you the truth, in that situation, most of the time you’ll never get the response that you envision. So, once again you’re left with more pain than before. As a matter of fact, the moment you try to prove your worth and value to someone is the moment you’ve already lost. At this stage, you’ll really see that there’s no benefit to staying in a place of suffering, and you’ll stop clinging to the past. I advise you to take a deep breath, shut the door and don’t return.

 

Look up, always. Look back, never. ~Karen Quan

You should spend most of your time with the people who are moving forward with purpose. This will help to recover from the situations as early as possible. On the other hand, you can learn from inspirational/motivational people and manage to solve the problems and overcome the stressful situations. Avoid surrounding by negative people as they can affect your mind, spirit and confidence.

Let it go is the best thing you can do for forgetting the painful past to embrace the better tomorrow so start practicing it today! Shut the door, leave the past behind. It cannot hurt you anymore, unless you let it. Don’t go back! God of the universe has a greater plan for you, and being hurt repetitively is not the plan. WHEW!!! Enough said!!! Go Get Your Life Back!!!

 

Hope your cup is full of positivity!
