Hi everyone,
Last week we were talking about being more present. If you are doing this, you can't hold onto the past. Especially the bad. You take it and accept it has made you who you are and move on from there. If you are happy with who you are, the negative things in your past can't be something you keep with you. You have to let them go and appreciate them for the job they did in making you who you are.
Most everyone has had something bad happen to them in the past. We need to appreciate the purpose of this and move on and grow. If not, we are letting that situation control part of who we are. If we bog ourselves down with past hurt or anger and we don't forgive and move on, we are the ones that suffer. We all make mistakes and we have all done something that has hurt someone else. We can allow that to control our life or we can decide to make different choices based on the present.
Do you have negative things holding you back? The past has served it's purpose! Let it go!
Questions:
Either journal about these questions or think through each one!
- How does the past affect the choices you make today?
- What do you need to let go of from the past?
- What in your past is dragging you down?
- How does the past show up for you?
- Can you remember the past and not let it control the choices you make today?
- Does your past hold you back?
- Where do you want to live? In the past or present??
- What is keeping you from doing that?
- How does the past show up for you?
- What are you going to do to let go of the past?
Fieldwork:
Think of at least one negative thing from your past that you are holding onto. Take control of the situation and find a way to let it go.
Topic 9 Bonus Challenge: Decide on at least one thing from your past that you need to forgive yourself or someone else for. Really work on finding a way to be at peace with the situation. What do you need to do to let it go? Now, do that!
Quote: Johnny Cash You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.
Enjoy the journey!
