How to Leave Your Pain in the Past - Allow Yourself to Be Free

Instead of allowing your past pains & traumas to hold you hostage & get in your way of achieving new goals & having new experiences, decide to let these pains stay in the past & not be the reason you don't move forward in life. Here are 5 tips that will help you do this.

Show Notes:
I wanted to bring this topic up because as we enter a new year, as important as it is to focus on new goals & opportunities we are embarking on, it’s ALSO important to not drag unnecessary baggage & pain from the past into this new year.

Maybe you don’t feel the need to have a fresh start altogether, but at least a clean slate for the moment will make it a whole lot easier to achieve your new goals & not spend too much time on things you cannot change. You cannot change what happened in the past. You can only learn & grow from it, then move on.

When we grasp too tightly to our past pains & tough experiences, these things can hold us captive & it can feel like it’s taking over our whole lives. It’s as if these things that happened however long ago are STILL happening because you are constantly reliving the pain. 

And sometimes we believe that by going over what happened & reliving it, we are somehow fixing what happened or going to find a way out by still continuing to go through it. And I know most often the only way forward is through, but in the case of past trauma and pain, you don’t have to go through it by reliving to move forward. You can deal with it and then be done.

Holding onto your pain makes the journey of moving forward so much heavier & harder. This is why I want to share with you 5 ways to leave your pain in the past, so you can live in the present & look forward to your future. How to leave your pain in the past:

1. Honor & Accept Your Feelings About the Experience 
2. Create Distance - Mentally & Physically 
3. Let Go of Your Need for Apologies & Understanding
4. Make Room for the New
5. Take Responsibility for Your Part

I appreciate every single one of you that listens!
Thank you so much!
