Can you change it? Yes or no?

If you can’t, then why do you keep worrying about it or focusing on it? Is that going to change anything?

If you can, then why do you keep worrying about it or focusing on it? Isn’t it going to change anyway?

The above, in large, is the conversation you will have when it comes to anything and everything about your past.

It may take you a lot longer, and there will likely be thousands of sub-thoughts in-between but, in the end, this is the conversation that will get you to move past the past.

Now, I am not saying this conversation is easy, but I am saying it can be that simple.

That being said, if this seems hard for you it is likely you are not taking responsibility for your past.

When we look at our past we are often met with memories of failure, fear, regret and disappointments.

There are a lot of things we wish would have gone differently or that we would have done differently.

As soon as these negative memories and realizations come up, we try to hide.

We do not want to be bothered by things we cannot change anymore and so we try to run away from the negative visions of the past.
