process complex emotions such as grief, rage, sadness,
anxiety, or fear.
When you do not know how to allow these feelings to
pass through you, how to make sense of them, learn from
them, or simply just allow them, you get stuck on them.
You bury them, and then everything around you becomes
a trigger that threatens to unleash the floodgates.
You might think it’s about keeping a stiff upper lip, but it’s
not. It’s about crying when life is sad, being angry in the
face of injustice, and being determined to create a solution
when a problem arises. That responsiveness, instead of reactiveness,
defines mental strength.
FORGET WHAT HAPPENED AND FOCUS ON HOW YOU WILL
MAKE IT RIGHT
Reflect on what went wrong, learn from what went wrong,
and figure out how you’re either going to make up for it or
change the outcome in the future.
Then let it go.
The only time you’re going to really hold onto the past is
when you haven’t fully learned from the past. When you
have, you can apply those lessons to the present moment
and create what you wanted to experience then.
