Letting Go of Memories

Personal Growth

Letting go off memories is a step towards happy and enriching life. Unless you let the past go, you cannot move forward in life. The unpleasant memories of the past are an extra burden on your mind, which partially kept you away from the present moment and that in turn makes your life boring and stressful. When your mind is not in the present moment, you could not respond to the immediate situations of the present moment accurately and unconsciously invite troubles in your life. That is why letting go off past is utmost importance to make your mind clutter free so that you can live a healthy and happy life.

The need for letting go of something, someone or certain situations arise due to unduly attachment to them. Most of the people become dependent on someone or something and cannot imagine living without them. Even they carry the baggage of unpleasant memories of certain situations along with them. Due to this, they no longer see their purpose with clarity and do not have faith in their ability to realize their goal. They become a victim of being trapped because of their own dependency on someone, something or certain situations.

Generally, life is short in a sense that we want to do many things, which remain undone. Still, most of the people carry the ever increasing burden of the past and worry about the future. The weight of unpleasant memories of the past simultaneously gets heavier over the period of time and in the fake end of their lives, they are left with a baggage full of regrets. So, if you want to make your life happy and enriching, you need to let your past go as soon as possible.

To let the unpleasant memories of the past go, you need to realize that life is all about learning and moving forward. The only importance of memories is to give you necessary lessons for your growth. Brooding over the past or worry about losing someone or something is a sign of immatured mind. In the journey of life, you have to face various kinds of situations; have many things at different stages of life and enjoy the company of different people throughout the life. All of them will come and go on their own and enhance your level of knowledge. You need to train your mind to discard past memories as soon as their role in your life comes to an end. You cannot get anything concrete by holding on to it.

Hence have a forward-moving mindset. There is a lot to get from new situations, things or people in the present moment. Do not make yourselves captive in the cage of memories and keep yourselves away from enjoying the present moment. You are much more powerful to break free from the shackles of the past than you think, provided you take initiative to do that. Always keep in mind, if you are not able to utilize the present moment, then you are going to miss because it is not going to come again. To put it simply, letting to off the memories is a step towards living life in totality. So learn to let the past go to enjoy the beauty of life.
