How to face the past instead of running from it?"

in Hive Learners6 days ago

That moment when you are alone, the noise of the day stops, and a film starts playing in your mind again, that mistake, that painful thing, that opportunity you witnessed, the person you used to be, a word echoes in your mind, I wish I hadn't done that, I wish I hadn't made that decision, I wish I could turn back time, it's not just a memory, it's just a burden, a heavy chain tied to your feet, it stops you from moving forward, it pulls you back with every new step, it's a prison of the past, a prison of which you yourself are both the guard and the prisoner, the walls of this prison are made of pitchfork, and its bars are made of shame, but what if I told you that the door to this prison was always open, what if you always had the key to release from this prison, if you want to learn how to take off this burden, how to break this chain, this post is for you, complete it. Reading is, today we will not talk about erasing the past, we will only talk about being free from it.
We run away from it, but what we run away from chases us. Freedom is not in running away, freedom is in accepting. The path to freedom from this prison consists of three steps. The first step is acceptance. Name the burden. Stop fighting the burden. Stop for a moment and accept it. Tell it, yes, I made a mistake. Yes, this happened to me. Give it a name. Of shame, of regret, of anger. When you name your ghost, it becomes less scary, and you reduce its power by acknowledging it. The second step is learning. Make medicine out of poison. Your past is not a life sentence. It is a lesson. Every pain, every mistake, has a lesson hidden in it. Ask yourself what this experience taught me. . You pay the price. The third step is symbolic farewell relationships. Give it a name You don't have to break up with your past, you need to give it a new name. The most powerful way to do this is to write a letter. . When you take this step, an incredible thing happens. That heavy chain breaks. That burden becomes light. Your past is no longer your enemy. It becomes a part of your story. That's what your past is. This is a lesson, not a life sentence, this is a reference, not your identity, your next chapter awaits you and you cannot begin it until you keep rereading the previous chapter. Today is the day to close this book, keep this book in your heart and leave the burden there because your story is not over yet, the best part is yet to begin.
