Let The Past Stay In The Past

Do not relive moments in the past. The past will overtake your thoughts, and you will not be able to live in the present. You cannot change the outcome of past events, so why let them clutter your mind like a bag of garbage left on the curb?

Live in the here and now.

To enjoy and get the most out of your life, live here and now. Many of your past events will have pleasant memories that you may want to recreate but cannot accomplish the task. Towns change, and attractions you once enjoyed you cannot find any longer. Create new memories each day of your life, so you have many found to look back on in your old age.

Enrich your mind every day.

Make sure you learn something new every day. A stagnant mind has never helped anyone. Enrich your mind by reading books, attending lectures, going to museums, traveling, life-long learning classes, playing, concerts, and so much more. Stay busy and alert, and you will not think about events that bothered you in the past. When you stay active and your mind is engaged in accomplishing your work, you will have no time to think about the water that has gone over the bridge.

Keep busy everyday

I keep busy every day with projects I want to accomplish and generally get everything I have set out to do that day. I wish to live in the present and the here and now and keep moving forward. I like one lyric in a song from my past: Ain’t nothin’ going to break my stride. I have to keep moving now. When your stride in life gets damaged, you are hurt, also.

Create new adventures

Create new adventures every day. Go for a drive, walk in the parks, go camping, get your RV out of storage, and take a trip. We have a vast universe, so get out and explore a small portion of it today. Take short day trips and discover a new business, restaurant, ice cream shops, tea room, and an old hotel still serving elegant meals. I love to look at the architecture of old buildings as they are more ornate and detailed than the new houses today. I like looking at people’s flower gardens and vegetable gardens. I love looking at the farm animals that may be out and enjoying the great outdoors.

Never let the past rob you of the present.

Never let the past rob you of what the present offers you. I find and look for something new every day. The farmers market has terrific-tasting freshly baked bread, sweet rolls, vegetables, honey, homemade soaps, organic meats, brown eggs, and much more. I make the most of every day that God has blessed me with. I let the past stay in a garbage sack by the curb and choose to live in the present and make new memories. Do not let your mind stay cluttered with things from your past, and enjoy each day you are blessed with.

Keeping busy and creating new adventures is my favorite! There is always something to do, and some place to explore.

I agree that making new memories and new adventures are vital to not getting stuck in something we can’t change. I also try to see the blessings in each day to remind me that there is much to be thankful for.
