Do your thoughts often dwell on the past?

If you find that you are clinging to a specific period from your past because you don’t feel there is much in the present that feels good to you, and if thinking about the past brings up feelings of sadness, regret or disappointment, you may be stuck in the past.

Living in the past is problematic because it robs you of the opportunity to enjoy the present. If you aren’t accepting of where you are, living in the past won’t help! Living in the past allows you to avoid dealing with issues in the present.

While some people live in the past because they don’t want to deal with the present, others live in the past for fear of what may come in the future. Just like watching that favorite old sitcom you’ve seen 100 times, looking back on your life doesn’t bring any surprises. Even if some of the past isn’t good, it is, at least, predictable.

Ultimately, the best thing you can ever do for your life is to be here right now. Take this moment to realize that you have already arrived. You are not dwelling in the past or running ahead to the future! Your reality is now.

Don’t hide from it; embrace it, live it, love it! It doesn’t matter if you are afraid or worried by what is currently in your present; stop running from it now, acknowledge it and work through it, and it will never become a part of your future.

Ask yourself, what have you been running from this entire time? Open your eyes to it today and allow yourself to feel the sadness, fear and anxiety that you have long been avoiding. It is only when we finally face up to our demons that their hold over us lessens.

Feel the life and the fullness of right now. Remember how the old saying goes ‘Yesterday is history. Tomorrow a mystery. Today is a gift.’ It is futile trying to discover what tomorrow can hold for us, after all, tomorrow may never come at all. All that we have is today and we can celebrate this by making it the very best that it can be.
