How do you put the past behind you? You do exactly that.
All too often thoughts of the past crowd our mental space. We lose the present moment dwelling on past events. If we can move the past behind us then we’re free to engage with what is happening around us.
Much has been said of the success enjoyed by athletes and sporting stars when they include visualisation in their training program. Since the mind does not differentiate between what is imagined and what is real, mentally seeing themselves succeeding in their chosen endeavour can translate into reality.
In the same way, mentally moving an image of a past event behind us can reduce emotional stress. When out of view it is harder for the mind to focus on it. The intensity is reduced. And the mind is clear.
