Move past the past

Is there anybody out there who constantly thinks about the past and wishes you could just go back and change that one situation? I know I do way too often! I always have better strategies on what I could have said or done and how it would’ve changed the outcome of a rotten situation!

Because I’m an overthinker, living in the past is a real issue for me, but I’m trying! I’m trying to move forward! I’m trying to be better than I was yesterday! Im trying to allow myself grace and remember that nobody is perfect! And I really think I judge myself harshly when I make unhealthy choices (ya know–get mad and say bad things) because social media has me believing that I’m the only one sinking! But gosh darn it–I know I’m not in this boat alone and neither are you! I think one of the best things we can do, is stop comparing our personal journey to those around us and know our worth! Because WE are more than the decisions we have made, good or bad!

Unfortunately no matter how much time I spend thinking about it, there’s nothing I can do to “fix” the way things happened then! But what I can do, is move past the past! I can look to the future and decide how I will handle myself in the next obstacle of life! I get to prepare myself to make an effort to do better the next go round, and we all know, there will be more chances in which we get to decide our words, our actions, and even better, our attitude.

So from here on out, start focusing on what’s in front of you instead of looking at what’s behind you!!!
