Keep the past behind you

New Year: Wet wet wet….at least the water was outside rather than inside the house – ankle deep in water inside the house on Christmas Day is not my ideal of a river dip to be honest. I do have my limits! Christmas always bodes an emotional challenge, more for some than others. Me? I am happy just to have ‘survived’ the day and hearing laughter from the pixies, having a feeling of gratitude in it being a ‘success.’

Highly charged emotional situations and ‘memories’…make or break us. Am reminded of that age old saying;

‘What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.’

All well and good, but that is dependent on leaving the past in the past don’t you think? How often does the ’past’ try and impact our current day, sometimes for a fleeting moment and sometimes for months, if not years at a time?

Mindfulness is one key to changing this. Observing thoughts and choosing where to place your focus to keep your attention in and on the moment, on the ‘Now.’ But what do you do if ‘it’ really hurt and you just can’t seem to let go of those thoughts and memories?

I liken looking back through your life like looking back through a photo album of events and relationships… you should be able to look at them all, the good and the bad with a smile, grateful for what you experienced and learned from that dynamic. If this is not the case. If buttons get pushed and emotions triggered. Then this is indicative of an energy that still needs to be balanced. An energy that needs to be released to free you up to attract new experiences into your life that are more expansive and enriching. For, whilst that echo of the past emotion is there it will, like a magnet, attract similar situations and dynamics to you that mirror the old one. We don’t want those!

So…when an old memory surfaces and with it an emotional trigger…don’t beat yourself up. Embrace the fact that this is an opportunity to once and for all release the old pattern. Use energy techniques to realign your energies and free your body and mind. The result is empowering. For clearing out the old allows the flow to bring you expansive positive experiences. Why not use the MYnd Space Audios as a tool for your movement forward- feel the difference they can have on your life.
