What are your thoughts about the past?
I used to make huge stories in my mind about all the things I said or didn't say,
Do,
Didn't do you might recognize that,
That you suddenly have like oh,
I should have said that but these are stories are you keeping yourself attached to the thing that you made a mistake or not,
But at least that's how you judge yourself that alone causes that you are in this perpetuating loop it's trying to classify or label what you are based on the stories or based on what you did and for me that was a really difficult time when I was so attached subconsciously to these stories but I had no idea how to break out of them I wanted to let them go,
But I didn't know how the thing was that I was most of the time,
Maybe 95% of the time not even aware that I was doing it because I had been doing that my whole life but with my growing of awareness I started realizing that and I started investigating how I could step by step bring awareness and decide differently and at some point I was able to catch the stories when they appeared that already made me much more powerful to break the loop of these stories in your mind and with the stories usually also the victimhood not being good enough blaming yourself,
Being ashamed the past is for me something now that brought lessons it brought you where you are now but it is by no means predictive for the future which we all recognize that sentence how to navigate that for me is bring awareness if you are done with a certain story a certain position you put yourself in a certain role you give yourself in these stories you can start looking at it from ok,
What did that story bring me?
And maybe also have a look at what does the story bring me now?
Because there are many reasons for sticking to a particular story from your past or to a certain situation in general one of them might be that it gives you benefits to hold on to the story it is also a way for you to keep yourself small to not grow,
To not take the next step because this old situation has kind of become safe while it is an unsafe situation while it is an unsafe situation it has become safe because you are so used to it and I have to say that old stories,
Stories in your mind can have different reasons and of course it is per person different what these reasons are and they are at different levels but they hold on to you for sure as long as you are not aware of them not aware that you are telling yourself these stories so the past is something that has happened and in the now,
Where the only moment is where you can actually do and live and change things you have the power to decide that you will learn from your lessons from the past but the past will not dictate the future so reflect on that,
That this holds true in all the small things and reflect on this where you are holding on to old stories from the past which don't serve you anymore that is if you want to move forward of course but I guess you are not listening to this if you don't want to move forward so take a moment when you make some time for yourself take a moment to reflect on this and see where your stories,
Your past where you dwell on your past without moving forward if you keep on looking backward you will hold yourself there you will hold yourself stuck in that story and it doesn't serve you to look back in regret or shame or blame from thinking to being is a path that brings you more and more in the current moment with the lessons learned,
Recognizing and being grateful for all the things that brought you here but also the empowerment of you being able to decide to choose in the now
