Practice practice practice. It does get easier with effort, but it takes a grindingly long time to get over the hump.

I struggle with that too @anon58091841 .
I haven’t really found a solution… 
I have a minor obsession with wondering how things would have turned out if I’d turned left instead of right in life.
There’s no way to satisfy that curiosity though.
But maybe that’s all it is : overactive curiousity.

İs there a diagnosis or term for this. So that we can search in internet

“rumanating” might be a good place to begin searching.

What are we but the culmination of memories? It is an interesting thought to ponder.
Anyway, the way I have dealt with overcoming the past is to do self adminsitered EMDR.
EMDR copies the sleeping brain where we move our eyes as we dream and does the trick of processing memories while we are awake instead.
You see, as the brain regenerates and ‘bins’ certain memories every night as we sleep, the eyes move left and right. You can copy this action and bin memories too by doing EMDR too.
It worked for me. I have even overcome addiction using it too.

I’ve been having the same unpleasant dreams for over thirty years, so my brain is obviously not hitting the bin with whatever it has been chucking at it. Ooof.

I have lots of sexual trauma from my past. I tried to bury it, for a long time. But I found out that that just makes it so much worse, when I would recall something. After talking about it, many times, over the years, I started to heal.
I’m not saying you should embrace your negative memories, but I think that it is not healthy to bury them. I recommend processing the memories, talking about them, perhaps with a therapist.
Time is the best healer. Time to process it and time to accept that it happened.
Good luck on your journey. Healing won’t happen overnight, but just take it one step at a time.
