E25 Stop living in the past


Listen Later

Do you ever find yourself wasting time ruminating on the past and what could have been different or on the mistakes you made that you wish you could take back? How about the good times? We can also get sucked into sadness that those good times are "over". Both of these scenarios rob us of the present moment that we are now missing out on. I know there have been times I've gotten stuck obsessing about what I could have done differently. Pretty soon, I am on a spiral of the "whys" and the "what ifs" and in that spiraling, I've wasted the joy of the present moment. Mistakes teach us lessons, if we are paying attention. It is ok to look at them and learn. In fact, it is a really good thing to examine our actions, hearts and learn to do better. So, if you find yourself going down the rabbit hole of regret, or even the rabbit hole of the good times, be sure to not let it last too long. If you do, you just might miss out on the joy that is right now, right here, in front of you. Let's stop living in the past and step forward. Enjoy the moments as they come. They are what you will regret not noticing after they are gone.
