I need to believe this...

 Something I recently read....

5 ways  to let go of the past.

1.Stop replaying the painful memories every day. 

What the mind repeatedly revisits emotionally continues to stay alive.

2. Forgive yourself for who you were during those painful seasons.

You were learning, surviving and hurting all at the same time.

3.Accept that some people will never apologise or understand your pain.

Healing can not depend on someone else's awareness.

4 Focus your energy on the life happening now.

The present moment is where peace, growth and healing actually exist.

5 Allow yourself to move forward without guilt.

You are allowed to heal,

You are allowed to smile again.

And you are allowed to become free from what once hurt you deep.

It's easy to read and agree with isn't it, slightly harder to train our minds to let us actually do this. But we can try for sure. xx

These things are all possible. BUT it takes time to heal and let go plus forgive yourself and not care what others think. As they say, time heals all. You can't force it, in my opinion, because we have to go through the steps to get there.

When learning music, it's really important to keep rehearsing the right ('good') way to play a passage, otherwise you will only remember the wrong way. I've come to realise how important this is with life as well; to keep 'practising ' this good memories because then those are the ones that stay.
