Letting go: A tough act!

An important aspect when it comes to an open minded approach.

Everyone experiences good and bad things in their lives. However, if a human is deeply hurt or affected by an incident, it's not easy for him/her to move past it or ‘let go’ of the same. Letting go or moving on is one of the toughest things that a human can do in his or her life. Emotional pain tends to stay for a longer period of time and eradicating the experiences felt by the trauma takes time. Moving on from emotional pain is a big relief to the human heart. However, it takes a lot of courage and will power to eliminate the trauma experienced by the individual. When you get rid of a bad experience, the learning you gain from it is more useful in the longer run than living with the pain for the rest of your life. 

There are many ways to get rid of past trauma to ensure a better livelihood. Few of them are listed below: 

• Learning from mistakes: A very important element when an individual is letting go of a past experience. Whenever we learn from our mistakes, it enables a person to make better decisions. 

• Exhibiting emotions: Releasing emotions is another important aspect to let go of your past trauma. A sudden outburst releases emotions built up in our hearts, but we need to be aware of our surroundings. 

• Self love: Loving yourself is an important aspect in one’s life. Self love triggers positive emotions which in turn leads to a healthy mindset. 

• Pursue a hobby: Another way to let go of negative emotions is to pursue a hobby of one’s interest. Keeping yourself engaged keeps the positive vibes flowing simultaneously. 

To conclude, let go of your past trauma to live a healthy lifestyle and having an optimistic approach enables us to channelise our thoughts in the right direction and focussing on our goals should be our priority.
