Your body moves past an event instantly. But your mind can be stuck there forever…

Every moment spent thinking of the past keeps you trapped in it.

Does a cat or dog worry about when it falls over and stumbles? No, it picks itself up and then continues on being a cat or dog. Only the human is conscious enough to have the folly to punish themselves in their minds over and over again for the same mistake. Most if not all of our mental anguish is due to worry about circumstances or situations that have previously happened or never will happen.

Once something is in the past, there is no need to relive it. It is gone, and now only exists as a figment of your imagination.

On a biological level your brain cannot perceive the difference between real events and imagined events - because all experience is in the mind.

If you re-imagine/remember stressful or bad situations of your past, your brain thinks you are going through it once more. Those same emotions and chemicals flood the system as if it was all happening over again. You should understand how this can be repeated and thus cemented into a pattern of thinking.

Conversely, you can imagine a positive and wonderful event or experience that hasn’t yet happened. Your brain perceives that as truth regardless, and aligns the chemicals and neurons in your body to that which happens in real life. Continued use of positive visualisation raises your body’s vibrations to a level which matches that of the perceived positive event, maximising the chances that the event manifests into reality.

It is imperative that you consciously monitor what you are spending your time thinking of - because you are directing energy to that reality.

Awareness is the first step to avoiding pain. Now that you are aware of the folly of mentally reliving past negative experiences, you can choose to leave that in the past where it belongs, and experience the beauty of the present moment and build a better future.

We are here to learn from each other and have fun along the way. Do not beat yourself up about the past, but become aware and learn from it so that you can have the future you deserve.

I can't stop dwelling on the past no matter what. The pain never ends.

I think it is only possible if you have something positive in your life already, then it is easy to let go of things, but if you're an incel like me, then it is over.

But I think this can manifest into a daydreaming and not taking action syndrome, for some like myself

Envisioning a good life in the future is good for a rational mind. I try to positively envision something then I just get sad because reality hits and then negative thoughts suit forward. I just want to stop thinking negatively; not that I want to think positively

I thought the same way but no it has never served me since there could be a huge disparity between where you are and where you want to be it could become resentment and inertia not motivation.

The better thing to do is envision the next step.

The reason for anxiety over the past, from an evolutionary perspective, is because worrying and being anxious about your surrounding was neceessary for humans to survive. Being both physically weaker than most predators, and relying on environments with large groups of people, humans needed to be worried and anxious about everything at every moment to ensure that they could react accordingly when actual threats arrived.

Your past is no different from say a dark woods outside of your camp. Your mind fixates on it, and fixates on the dangers that could become of it, because it needs the advantage of being ahead of the curve should something com out of those woods.

In a post industrial society, the dangers present in the neolithic era when we were evolving aren't around anymore, and as suh your environment isn't worth worrying about. As a result, this trait is applied to shit like your past, the lives of others, your future, how you are perceived by the people around you, whether you are living a worthwhile life, etc.

It's a hard thing to overcome, but realizing that it's just some genetically adapted bullshit makes it easier to stomache.

Relates to this topic I spoke about:

Consuming & Investing yourself so much in what people think & how they perceive you

In the social media age it seems people are being hard wired, even men, to be on constant supervision as to how others perceive them. It's not just the Zoomer generation, but Millennials and even Gen X'ers too and while it is very difficult not to do in today's climate, I think becoming 'aware'...

I don't have any traumatic experiences in my past because I never re-live them, and I've just forgotten them now.

the law of attraction, while it does have its limits, is still extremely grounded with regards to positive affirmations and visualizations, I'm glad another user has pointed out its benefits. I have been positively visualizing and working on a better self-concept of myself these past few months, and it has paid off better than I could ever imagine.

I think about the past so much it’s become a drug. Literally something I do every night to get myself off the internet or brain fog, is to reminiscence, it gives me a break. I know it’s terrible for me

Good post
But being stuck in the past is not always a bad thing. For example a euphoric memory, a deep nostalgia, the memories of first love can create the same feelings that they did in the mind back then even when they are no more now. Afterall good memories is what most of us live for don't we? Since Agepill will hit sooner or later

To live in the moment is still superior tho. Because it teaches one to let go all cravings, all factors of our life whether it is something positive or negative and being non judgemental of everything. There is no good, there is no bad. It is just it is. You are a conscious being in the universe observing reality in the present moment. The past does not exist. The future does not exist either. Most of our lives happen in our mind....

You don't get sad thinking about love in the past? Knowing you may never have those experiences again, will never be with that person , always be alone, die alone, and are alone right now?
