"I realized I had to put some things behind me in order to live a full and productive life."
How I did it: First, I felt like crap. I was thinking about all of the things I've done wrong and all of the bad things that happen to me, a lot. But then I said to myself- I'm never going to be happy if I don't learn to look past all of this. So I started to force myself to be happier about the past than I had been.
Lessons & tips: Your past may have been terrible. It may even have been traumatic. But you have a bright future! You just need to not let go of the future 'for the sake of momentum'. Listen to the lyrics of Aimee Mann's Momentum and you'll understand.
