In life, everyone has a past which he or she may not like to remember. There are things which have taken place in our lives that anytime we try to remember them we seem to be demoralized.
Whatsoever the case might be, the question is,
‘Should we allow our ugly past to weigh us down?’
Remembering our ugly past have a lot of negative influences on us if not properly managed. These are;
Psychologically; Your past can control you emotionally. It can change your happy mood to unhappy mood. It can make you to always appear sober, if not well managed. When this becomes intense, it can affect your performance in your business, your academics and your work area.
It can affect your relationship with others; Some people who may not know what you are passing through may misunderstand you, and therefore they may avoid associating with you.
It can trigger some health disorders; When you allow your past to constantly determine your mood, it can lead to some health disorders such as high or low blood pressure, mental disorder, suicidal thoughts etc.
How then should we let go of our past?
There is no need to keep on remembering something that will make you unhappy especially if it is something that you cannot change.
Some people have been bereaved at one time or the other, and remembering those people they have lost weighs them down, but let me tell you, there is nothing you can do in such instance.
