Painful memories should not turn into an obsession. If you feel that you are stuck in the past, then it's time to exert certain strengths so as not to get bored and sad in this endless swamp.
How sometimes you want to throw away some painful memories of the past from life. However, they intrusively “drill the brain”, forcing them to return to the experienced traumatic experience again and again. So gradually a person begins to live in the past, the present is seen in a black light, it seems that there will be nothing good in life.
In most cases, this condition is characteristic of people who have lost their loved ones. They begin to get hung up on the tragic moment and feel their uselessness and senselessness of existence in this world. However, you must realize that nothing in life happens just like that. The heavy psychological experience of loss is given to the individual, paradoxically as it sounds, to heal and reevaluate values.
The main ways to release memories include the following:
- put all the things of the person who left you in one box and hide somewhere far away;
- make repairs in the living room;
- Find your favorite pastime that distracts you from sad thoughts.
- visit a psychologist;
- do auto-training to gain positive thinking.
The experience of losses and memories of the past is always traumatic. It resembles a viscous swamp, in which the most important thing is not to get bogged down.
