There is a time in every human’s life, when his past becomes a burden and starts swallowing the present. Somebody’s broken relationship, someone’s failure, someone’s cheating or separation of a person – a painful experience that shocks our mind to the inside. But is this the end? no way. Life gives a new beginning an opportunity every morning. Let us know how we can make a new beginning by leaving behind our past painful past.
1. The first step is to accept the past
He affects further depth by ignoring or pressing his pain. The first and most important thing is to accept your past. Assuming that what happened is, and now it cannot be changed. Acceptance is a type of internal liberation. When we do not run away from our past, but try to understand it, then we take the first step towards moving forward.
2. Express your feelings
Often people hide their pain, but it causes discomfort. According to psychologists, expressing your feelings in words (whether to write in the diary, talk closely or seek the help of a psychiatrist) is very important for mental health. When you are able to say your point, that burden is lighter and the mind gets space to adopt new things.
3. Priority to Self-Care
Physical and mental care is very important to overcome emotional wounds. Yoga, meditation, regular exercise, balanced food and good sleep – all these things will not only give you energy, but will also give you a new direction in life. When you start appreciating your body and mind, you have confidence and positivity.
4. Learn from your experiences, do not regret it
Every sad experience is also a teacher of life. It is more important to think what he learned from that experience, instead of thinking “Why happened?”. For example, if there is pain in a relationship, try to find out what you have learned-about the brother-in-law, about your self-esteem or your attitude towards life.
5. Forgive yourself and others too
Many times our past is also painful because we are unable to forgive ourselves or take so much hatred from someone else that it starts dissolving poison in our life. Forgiveness is not easy, but it frees. It is necessary to forgive others, not for them, but for yourself so that you can move forward in peace.
6. Make a new goal and start with small steps
When you start recovering from your past, then turn yourself towards a new purpose. Whether it is to learn a new skill, career change, some journey or social service – do something that brings freshness to your life. Initially take small steps, but regularly. These small steps are the basis of great successes in the future.
7. Keep positive people around you
Your environment also affects your mental state. If you live among people who increase your courage, which shows you the future lights by not reminding you of your past, then it becomes easy to overcome. A positive support system – he is a friend, family or any advisor – can give a new direction to your life.
8. Understand the power of spirituality and meditation
In a country like India, spirituality has been a means of recovering from mental and emotional suffering for centuries. Be it Bhagavad Gita or Shiva Purana, there is guidance of deep philosophy and peace of life. Meditation, chanting or praying brings mental stability, and it gives us the power to live in the present.
