The past can feel like a clutter of regrets the wrong choices and burdens. It can be easy to play the what-if game.
- What if my parents did this instead of that?
- What if my family was rich?
- What if I had a different set of friends?
- What if I made a different decision then?
- What if I didn’t start that bad habit?
Our life can become a cluttered room of past choices if we hold onto things. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Every new day gives us a clean slate. Instead of holding onto regrets, we can choose to learn from the past, let go of it and move forward.
- We can choose a better habit today
- We can be thankful for a lesson learned and make a better choice today
- We can begin to clean the mental clutter by writing down what happened
- We can forgive others as well as ourselves
Whatever your story, whatever your past, today is a brand new day. It is a clean slate. Start cleaning and make the best of it.
