With all my time on my hands I find myself thinking of the past a lot but every time I do I try to focus on something else at hand…it’s not that I don’t mind thinking of the past but it’s not health I don’t think…

I revel in the past a lot. That’s why I prefer to work. Less time to focus on all my failures since then and how much I miss the old me.

The past is there for me, but it’s not something that eats at me or that I need to replay. Things are better that way.

I’m constantly either living in the past or thinking and worrying about the future.
I hardly live in the present.

In the years past, when I was depressed and suicidal, I used to constantly dwell on the past. I never had much of an anxiety problem , focusing on the future. Today, I live very much in the now. And it serves me well.

I move on from yesterday rather quickly. There is something in that live in the moment mentality that helps. My opinion is worrying about things that are gone is wasting energy. Rather put that energy into something positive.

My friend wrote a book in which I find the following: “Make the most of all that comes; the least of all that goes.” He says it is from poet Sara Teasdale.

I use to have goals and dreams and find myself i am not even close. I think about my past what went wrong. I adjusted my dreams and goals and live in the present. I done lots of grievances.

I heard a good analogy. Memories are like navigating a car: you check the rear view but keep your eyes forward on the road. If you happen to look at the mirrors, they should be glances, keeping your focus on what’s in front, not behind.
