Sometimes, it can be a very tiring and exhausting thing to hold on to painful memories. However, it does not have to be that way. There are many ways to improve one's life and heal from bad experiences. In this blog, we will look at all the different ways to do so.
We feel pain as a response to something that hurts us. This could be something physical like a burn from boiling water falling on our hands, or it could be something emotional or mental like a breakup or the loss of someone to a deadly disease, or even when we have had a difficult past and find it hard to move on from it. Pain heals, but it takes time. All wounds heal with the passage of time, but we can always try to accelerate our healing. There are many ways to accomplish this. Some turn to meditation and become more mindful of their surroundings and their thoughts. This allows them to control what they want to think about and become better at compartmentalization, which allows them to separate painful memories into different mental compartments in their head.
Some people also take up therapy, speaking to a professional counsellor who guides them and tells them how to move forward with their lives. These are among the ways in which people can move on from the past. We're going to be discussing books today, reads that deal with moving on from the past.
