Forgetting the painful past is very difficult

[aninditasen]

All of us have some painful experience of the past which is difficult to forget and keep coming back to our memories time and again how much ever we try to wipe it out of our mind it doesn't. I keep myself engaged the whole day yet these bad moments keep coming back to my mind. I meditate to keep myself calm yet such painful events start coming back to my memory. How do you handle such memories.

I have many painful memories that are hard to forget. However, I no longer dwell on some of them because I believe that doing so would only drain me and negatively impact my overall health and well-being. Instead, I focus my attention on reading self-help books, watching TV series, and so on. What works for me might not work for you. Just explore the activities that can help you move forward.

The bitter and painful past will be hard to forget, but we must try our best to forget it, by thinking positively or thinking more about tomorrow than yesterday, besides that we also have to accept the situation or be sincere so that it will reduce the burden on the mind.

It's never easy to let go of a painful memory. What you need is time, instead of letting go, learn from it but don't let the pain draw you back.

Your past might be a sweet one because it keeps on lingering in your mind. If it was a bitter past, your mind will refuse to remember. All you have to do is keep your mind busy.
