As human beings, we sometimes tend to fixate on negative events and feelings we experienced. But the only thing it really does is this: it makes us stuck in the past. Repeating positive affirmations for letting go can help you break the loop of hurt and negativity and finally move on with your life.
The process of healing can take a while and sometimes you’ll need to just keep smiling through pain and believing that you are going to be okay. Be there for yourself like you would be there for a friend who is going through a difficult time.
If you realize that you keep holding on to the past and thinking about what could have happened, you probably need to change your perspective. Try to see everything that happens to you as an experience. Let me explain what I mean.
If it’s good, enjoy it and make a mental note so you can see more of it in the future. If it’s bad, accept it, realize that you survived anyway, you are still alive, and there is so much good stuff waiting for you! You just need to make it through a hard time and keep pushing through the darkness until you reach the light.
Remember that your life is in your hands. (Never let anyone or anything convince you otherwise!)
As soon as you allow yourself to let go of your past and stop holding on to your pain, you’ll start the healing process. Keep repeating positive affirmations and learn to enjoy your life again. Because you deserve the best and awesome things will happen to you if you let them!
Why letting go is so hard?
Letting go is so hard because you start identifying yourself with past events. To let go of those negative feelings is like saying goodbye to a part of you that feels familiar. You feel so safe and comfortable being in a familiar state that stepping into the unknown future seems scary and unreasonable.
This is just how our brain works. Even though you know that you are better off without that pain and negativity, you subconsciously hold on to it.
Accept that you may have these feelings but they don’t have to define you anymore.
To break your negative feeling patterns and replace old thoughts with new ones, use specific positive affirmations for letting go that apply to your situation.
