The Secret Sauce to Move on
Relish your present over your past
This is how I aced the exam and scored wonderful marks!
Sounds like a conventional LinkedIn or rather any social media post. The achievement looks strong and bright. A few insights to the journey, followed by some gratitude. Safe structure. However, ever wondered the vulnerable and probably one of the hardest side of it?
Not the hard work.
Rather letting go of your past.
The mistakes, perceptions, decisions that didn’t lead you to growth or gave desired results. You tend to hold on cause it subconsciously became a comfort zone. You feel scared to try something new. That challenges you. Makes you ponder, nudges you to make changes.
The fact is some things work in our favour, some eventually don’t. But, we tend to stick to those which didn’t. Pondering over and over again. Well, take a deep breath and just let go.
You can’t create space for a sapling if you haven’t cleared the weeds. Read that again.
We, unfortunately, don’t have Doraemon’s anywhere door to go and transform our past.
But, we do have a blessing called present, which if used wisely, can foster our future. Make your mind act in the present, the only thing that matters.
Take your time to heal. Feed your mind with positive thoughts, self-belief and the master of mind meals : positive affirmations.
- Journal your thoughts, be aware of your beliefs
- Spend a few minutes in silence
- Reflect on your journey
- Embrace it with acceptance
Trust me, you simply be present for yourself and rest things will fall into place.
