Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny Bites - How to Stop Letting the Past Control You

Can you think of a time when you said or did something you wish you hadn’t?

Unless you’re a sociopath, the answer to that is undoubtedly “yes.” I know I have – we’re human so we’re not going to get everything perfectly right one hundred percent of the time. Maybe you apologized later, or maybe you just moved on, hoping the memory of the words or deed would just fade away in the other person's mind.

How did you treat yourself about it? Many people hold onto that uncomfortable memory, occasionally dragging it out as a vivid reminder of how incompetent they are. That’s also quite human, and it’s detrimental to your mental wellbeing.

You can learn to let past mistakes go, and it’ll benefit you greatly when you do. Whenever you catch yourself thinking about what happened, remind yourself that you learned from the mistake and moved on. Say the words out loud if you have to.

The more often you interrupt the thought, the less often the thought will crop up, and eventually it’ll be gone. Master your mind for mental wellbeing – you can do it!
