It is possible to let go of your past, no matter how painful or private it was. Through these personal development techniques, you release all your emotional baggage and start over.
Once you let go of your emotional attachment to your past, you are free to enjoy the present. From this powerful place of being happy and content with where you are, you can begin to create the future of your dreams.
While you can’t change what happened in the past, you can change how your past experiences affect your future. The first step in letting go of the past is to accept that it happened. No matter how traumatic the experience or how unpleasant the memory, you must acknowledge here and now that it happened. We call this entering a state of Acceptance. Many people live their entire lives with the desire to change the past. They complain that if things had been different, their lives would be so much better. The past is gone. Happened. There is no way to change the past, so there is no point in wishing that it never happened or that it happened in some other way. You can’t change it, so accept it!
After acceptance, you can enter a state of peace by realizing that the past, everything, both good and bad experiences, helped shape the person you are today. All of the knowledge, desire, and love that is within you at this moment is a direct result of the past experiences that make up your life.
So realize that the past can teach you some powerful lessons. Have you learned something positive from your past experiences? Use your past as a learning tool. See where things went wrong and make the changes you need to make today to make your future a bright and welcoming place. Never use your past as an excuse to stay the way you are or to tolerate circumstances and situations that you are currently unhappy with! Realizing that the past has been and is over. All you have is this moment and that is all you need to make changes.
Over the centuries, many millions of people have overcome their own personal adversities to achieve great things. You can do the same. These people refused to accept what life had given them. They never complained about their past or let it interfere with their present, so they created their future the way they wanted.
Never use the past as an excuse to stay stuck in your life. Your power is always in the present moment. Use your past negative experiences as a motivational tool to boost yourself. It all depends on your perception! It is your perception of things around you that determines your reality. May your attention expand. This means that you get more of what you focus on in life. If you choose to focus on the mistakes and difficulties of your past, that is what you will experience the most.
But if you decide to put the past where it belongs, in the past, and fully embrace the present moment and where you are, you will find yourself in a powerful creative place. Just going back to the past to learn from it, not as an emotional journey. While much of your current mental conditioning comes from childhood and early life experiences, it can be changed. By making the decision now and holding the intention now that the past will no longer affect you, you can free yourself from your own self-imposed bondage.
From this place of freedom, you can make decisions based on current situations and circumstances instead of being a slave to reactive emotional thought and action. The evidence is everywhere that people with painful and damaging pasts have overcome this and achieved high levels of success. Look at the world of business, sports, creative arts, etc. Everywhere you look, there are stories from rags to riches.
It is possible that you come across past experiences that are very difficult for you to carry out. At these times, you should seek professional help in any form, even if it is just a subliminal or hypnosis recording. Do something now to put your past behind you: make the decision that it will no longer rule your life today. Try to free yourself from the past. Now decide in your own mind that whatever you have to do, you will let go of your emotional problems. Even though you don’t know how you are going to do this, you still have the intention to do it. When you do this and start living in the now, you will be more content and at peace while you wait for your amazing future to unfold.
