Move On...

Sometimes we dwell on mistakes, experiences... our past for longer than we need to. It takes a toll on us mentally, emotionally and sometimes physically. This blog sheds light on the process of moving on... perfect for those that need to embrace a difficult situation.

MIND GAMES:

Earlier this week, I gave something I found a bit daunting another go. Everything was fine until I made some mistakes which I couldn't seem to stop repeating in my head. My mind became quite critical because it was my fault. If you are anything like me, you too find it hard to "shake it off. Before I went to bed I had to remind myself that it could have been worse and I needed to be thankful for the progress I even made. They say you are your worst critic believe me it is true! I view April as a month to transition. With that allow yourself to let go of the old and move on with your life.

MINDSET

Life happens... learn to let it be. Moving on is really and truly a mental challenge. I found that my faith in God helps me to practice forgiveness especially when He doesn't hold anything against me. Some experiences in life aren't what we'd expect or even deserve but every experience builds character. You should learn to close a chapter and start afresh. Just like when you move house is a good opportunity to clear old and unused stuff, declutter old memories, mistakes, experiences so you can embrace your next destination.

A quote that I have on my wall is this...

'Getting over a painful experience is much like crossing monkey bars. You have to let go at some point in order to move forward.'

-C.S. Lewis

MOVE ON PROCESS

1. Acknowledge what happened.

2. Reflect on how you felt.

3. Think and work towards how you want to feel/ want to do.

The process is easier said than done, but at your own time and convenience work your way through them. Let your overall wellness be taken care of at each step so that you can heal/recover from whatever is weighing you down. You can do this.

I may not be aware of what it is you want to move on from but give yourself the freedom to look forward to what's next. It may be a difficult process but you can do this by being kind and showing yourself some love. Loosen your grip on the past to allow yourself to enjoy the present and prepare for the future.

Until Next Time... Ludel.
