LETTING GO OF MY PAST — New Harvest Community Church

• Instead of indulging in painful memories over and over again and reliving it in different ways, give yourself one final chance to think over the situation before you accept that it’s happened and it’s finished.

• Learn to forgive yourself and whoever hurt you in the past. Without forgiveness, you’ll be stuck in these memories without a way to move forward.

• Take back your power. Acknowledge your hardships and instead of feeling like the victim, focus on how they’ve made you into the person you are today.

• Stop looking for closure. We’ve been told so often that once you receive closure on a situation, you can move on. But in some cases there isn’t any closure, so you must learn to move on regardless.
