Every person has their own past. And no matter what anyone says, it is completely impossible to forget him even with great desire. This is how the brain works, this is the peculiarity of memory. Today we will talk about the past that you want to throw out of your head.
The main reasons for memories of the past
Living in the past is a thankless task, especially if there are many unpleasant and painful events left. But often a person mentally goes back again and again, each time re-experiencing the difficult moments of his life. Unpleasant constant memories of the past can completely absorb a person, and he begins to get hung up on them, which is fraught with bad consequences and problems with the present.
There are typical situations after which it is very difficult for a person to cope with emotions. He dwells on what happened and brings negative memories into his later life. Among them:
- Death loved one or child. It is really hard to go through such an event. Especially if there were many happy moments lived together, if death took a loved one suddenly.
- Cheating and parting with a loved one. Betrayal can leave a deep wound on the heart, make you turn away from the opposite sex for a long time and stop trusting people in principle. The result may be total loneliness, detachment.
- Lack of demand in the profession. Often live in memories of past work people who could realize their abilities and ambitions there, get a decent wages, but in force various situations(were laid off, the company went bankrupt) were left without a favorite place.
- Moving to another city for permanent residence. Homesickness, even if life was much harder there, is characteristic of every immigrant. It is expressed rather not in memories of the past place of residence, but of the people who stayed there, their favorite vacation spots.
- Daily routine at home and at work. Lack of emotions, sadness, depression from the change of seasons - all this makes you return again and again to memories of cheerful companies, warm weather, etc.
Whatever the reason for remembering the past, if a person constantly thinks about it, reproaches and blames himself for what happened, or for what he did not do, mentally turns events and thinks, what would have happened if then he acted differently, he definitely needs to urgently get rid of intrusive thoughts. This is a false path to the healing of the soul. A person who constantly looks back to the past is doomed to further failures. As the famous German writer of the twentieth century, Erich Maria Remarque, said, “one who looks back too often can easily stumble and fall.”
How to get rid of memories of the past
Our life is not full of troubles. Everyone has bright and joyful moments, at the recollection of which the soul comes to life and sings. And instead of thinking about the good more often, many people are ready to suffer for the rest of their lives, regret the unrealizable, harbor pain and resentment, worry about past failures and disappointments. They do not even understand that it could be otherwise, and continue to cause irreparable harm to themselves and their loved ones, refusing to forget past memories. In order to clear the memory, you first need to calmly sort out the reasons, separate the events that are worth deleting from your life, or accept them, leaving tender and warm moments in your memory, and turn them to your advantage.
Conducting past memory analysis
In order for the events of the past tense to stop haunting a person, you need to figure out at what point and why these thoughts began to disturb and occupy most his consciousness.
On the this stage important:
- forgive and let go. It often happens that, having experienced certain failures, a person constantly scrolls through them, reinsuring himself from new disappointments. He mistakenly thinks that he will be ready for a situation where the same failures will be repeated in his life, and does not understand that, on the contrary, only attracts them to him.
- Admit your guilt. It must be understood that everything that happens to a person partly happens because of his actions. It is very important to realize this, since it is easiest to blame anyone for all the sins, but not yourself. This approach will enable faster correct conclusions: if he himself is to blame for what happened, by actions or thoughts he attracted negativity to himself, then it is easier to get out of such a situation and change everything.
- forget mistakes. It often happens that a person reproaches himself all his life for having acted badly towards another, giving him a lot of trouble, pain and tears. Most likely, he really acted disgustingly, for which he should be ashamed. But this does not mean at all that because of this you need to endlessly torment yourself, poisoning the life not only for yourself, but also for those close to you. The very fact of realizing a bad deed is important.
Learning from memories of the past
Everything that happened to us in the past, good or bad, should not just disappear without a trace. Even if a person has a wonderful life, you should not relax, as everything can change in one moment.
As for unpleasant situations, then, all the more, you should always learn from them. Firstly, so that they do not repeat themselves in the future, and secondly, so that in the future the question of how to get rid of negative memories of the past does not torment.
The past should become an invaluable experience for everyone. And if a person learns to use it wisely so as not to make or repeat mistakes, then he will be able to live, enjoying the present, and look confidently into the future.
But, unfortunately, there are not so many such people. The rest continue to step on the same rake, which leads them to the next vicissitudes of life, which return to them in unpleasant and unwanted memories.
Releasing negative thoughts about the past
First of all, in order to stop living in memories, you need to have a great desire and perception that this cannot continue like this.
To get rid of obsessive memories will help daily practical exercises and meditation:
- Select the right attitude . Every morning you need to start by listing everything positive and dear to your heart that is today.
- Spend psychological reception with water. If unpleasant thoughts and memories come into your head, you need to open the faucet and imagine how all the negativity flows into the sink along with the water.
- Let go of things from the past. If resentment and anger at the former loved one with whom you broke up are pestering, you need to remove his phone number from your mobile phone, put it away or throw away his photos, gifts and things. It is better to destroy them, while freeing yourself from his invisible presence, or at least hide them away or give them to strangers.
- Change something in the environment and habits. Another good way forget about the bad - do something useful (visit perfect order in the house, buy new furniture or start renovations), change environment(go to a fitness club, make new friends), transform your appearance (cut your hair or dye your hair a different color), and finally change jobs.
- Master meditation. This will help you learn how to relax your body and mind, soothe nervous system, concentrate your attention only on important and pleasant things.
- Take the lessons of fate. In order to let go of resentment and forgive offenders, you need to learn to be grateful for what you have. After analyzing all the events that have occurred in the past, you can find positive moments in them. For example, how did they help creative development or developing yourself as a person.
As you can see, nothing special is required from a person. But still there is one important condition- laziness must be discarded, since laziness and stupidity are our two worst enemies. You should get rid of them first of all, otherwise nothing in life will change for the better.
The introduction of meditation to get rid of memories of the past
Meditation is the art of relaxation through concentration. No need to be scared. The initial practice is quite simple and involves concentration on sounds. Since many people perceive information better by ear, this method is very effective.
With the help of certain mantras, which are not difficult to find on the Internet, or meaningful phrases can be protected from negative thoughts. It is not bad when a person independently comes up with phrases for meditation according to his personal memories and phobias from the past, which he wants to get rid of.
These should be short and specific phrases, for example:
- I release my past. Repeating the phrase several times will make it easier to deal with the memories. It also acts as self-hypnosis.
- I am free from bad memories I control my own thoughts. This is the second step of purification. This is the only way to set yourself up, to open yourself to the outside world.
- I easily part with painful memories, forgive myself for mistakes in past life . Yes, it's painful and difficult. But you can't bring back the past and you can't change it. So it's better to accept it as it is, let it go and avoid repetition in the future.
- I sincerely thank the past for the lessons and life experiences. Sometimes believers say that God will not give trials that a person cannot endure. Once it was destined to happen - nothing can be done. But you need to find the strength and survive the events.
- I only live in the present. Such a simple mantra teaches to perceive reality, to notice others, events that just happen, helps to escape from the abyss of sad memories.
- I love myself, my loved ones and all people. Yes exactly. Even if someone hurt you a lot, you should forgive them. And also to live with faith that this will not happen again.
At the same time, the psychological mood of a person is of no small importance. And if he speaks healing formulas from the heart, it can become Starting point to a new life without unpleasant memories of the past.
I would like to once again emphasize the well-known truth about the materiality of thoughts. So repeat verbal phrases you need to slowly, thoughtfully, many times and until you begin to feel favorable changes in your consciousness. Relief may not come immediately, so do not be upset ahead of time. positive thoughts will surely begin to fill the brain, gradually displacing disturbing memories from consciousness.
The main thing in meditation is to learn to concentrate your attention on the spoken words. At first, a person's mind may be distracted by other thoughts. Therefore, it is necessary to return the consciousness to the repetition of the mantra or significant phrase trying to keep their attention as long as possible.
Why can't let go of memories of the past
Unfortunately, it also happens. It seems that a person understands everything, sincerely wants to change something in his life, tries to forbid himself to think about what has long passed, takes some steps for this, but he succeeds. Some kind of unknown inner strength holding on to those memories of the past and not letting them go.
There may be several options here. Either a person is cheating with himself, or the problem really sits so deep that he cannot get rid of it on his own. Then you need to contact a psychologist who will help you not only understand yourself, your feelings for past events and people, past grievances and failures, but also provide qualified psychological help, sorting out all the memories on the shelves: pleasant - closer, and tormenting the soul - away, in the bins.
Letting go of the past is very difficult, but possible. You need to constantly work on yourself in order to learn to forgive yourself and others, to let go of people with whom you have developed relationships. unhealthy relationships, get rid of bad habits and constant feeling guilt, do not regret what did not work out, do not invent unfulfilled desires. And those who managed to overcome their thoughts and feelings, turn weak sides in strong, really regret not having done it sooner. After all, that inner freedom, healing power, the peace of mind and happiness that they felt and acquired is incomparable with anything.
For some, an ordinary frank conversation will be enough, for some it is necessary to apply special techniques, and in especially difficult cases, to conduct lengthy trainings. How faster man understands that he needs the help of a specialist, the faster he will be able to recover from his “sick” thoughts, and the problem of how not to live with past memories will go into oblivion.
How to get rid of memories of the past - look at the video:
The past should remain in the past and be only an invaluable source life experience. To stop living in memories of what is already irrevocably gone, you need to start living in the present. One has only to discard laziness!
Memories are the link between the past and the present. Some are barely remembered, and some are amazing in their detail. So what are they, and how does this mechanism work? Why are memories false? How to get rid of unpleasant ones and how are pleasant ones useful?
What are memories
Memories are the ability of the brain to restore images and situations lived in the past. The moments of life that are best remembered are those that evoke large quantity emotions. They are much easier to remember even in the smallest details. Memories are voluntary and involuntary.
- Arbitrary call the ones we're trying to call on your own. For example, names, dates, addresses, phone numbers, etc.
- involuntary are spontaneous and appear at the moment when we encounter images or smells that we observed in the past. Involuntary are associated with emotions and therefore remain in consciousness longer.
The main difference between arbitrary is that they constitute conscious memory, and involuntary - unconscious, unintentional.
Memories there are:
- nostalgic;
- pleasant;
- painful;
- joyful;
- fragmentary;
- sad;
- nightmarish;
- romantic, etc.
Formed in our subconscious, they necessarily pass through aware emotions, which means they bear their imprint.
How memories are formed and what they are for
Memories are formed through the perception and memorization of information from the past, but the processes of their appearance depend on individual features psyche, emotional state, memory capabilities.
They appear when we are ready to accept them and change our attitude towards the past life.
Such moments can be compared to audio recordings. Playing them again and again each time, there is a rethinking with the acquisition of new details and episodes.
Memories in psychology
In psychology, they turn to the term "reminiscence", which means playback of information stored in memory.
Reminiscence is a delayed recall of perceived or memorized material. This phenomenon is common and occurs at any age.
It is difficult to distinguish reminiscence from other phenomena, after all we are talking about the ability of the brain to process information. But reminiscence is the most precise and detailed phenomenon.
Psychology will attach much attention to childhood memories. The process of memorization in babies involves figurative memory. AT early years During his life, the child remembers the images that surround him, but they are kept in the mind rather little.
In the period of three years, memories acquire a strong emotional coloring., get stronger and are remembered for a long time.
In the process of growing up positive result bring leading questions of parents, when the child tries to remember something. It develops attention general level intellect.
in preschool and school age children connect the work of the imagination, move on to memorizing information. During this period, memories become consistent, continuous and directly depend on the emotional perception of the child.
Good memories are useful
After a study conducted at the University of San Francisco, it was determined that the quality of memories reflects the level of life satisfaction.
Over time, even negative memories are perceived as experiences and can become neutral or even positive.
Conclusion:
- You need to focus less on the negative and perceive everything as an experience gained for good reason.
- Events from the past that cause a smile are the work of the brain, which means an element that improves memory.
- Good memories are good motivation. The results of the past push for future achievements, and negative lessons will always tell you what not to do.
Some studies have found that extroverts tend to focus more on positive points from the past, while introverts leave more touching and sad events in their memory.
How to get rid of bad memories
Any memories are a definition of our individuality, and also form part of our life. If everything is clear with positive memories, then negative ones cause negative emotions or get depressed.
Not everyone succeeds in coping with the “attacks” of a suddenly surging wave of negativity. What to do if an attack begins?
Find a counterweight
To interrupt negative memories, whatever they are, positive and pleasant ones will always help. What if you remember what beautiful roses your grandmother grows in the village or how delicious it smells in the kitchen when mom cooks. Such echoes may be insignificant, but they will provide a good emotional mood.
rethink
If negative emotions are accompanied by intrusive unpleasant thoughts, it is worth firmly distinguishing between the past and the present. Perceiving negative situations as a lived experience, it is much easier to accept, let go, forget them.
accept what happened
Speaking of experience, memories are disturbing when the subconscious mind points out our mistakes. Feelings of guilt, shame, resentment, embarrassment or fear provoke the unpleasant to pop up in the head again. What to do in this case? Accept the clues of our brain: draw certain conclusions in order to avoid similar situations in the future. To understand that time cannot be returned, why then torture yourself?
Remove irritants
Another good way to exterminate memories that bother you is to get rid of everything connected with them (photos, clothes, furniture). Clearing the space around you means clearing your mind of harmful memories.
What are false memories and why do they exist?
Research says that memories can't always be trusted. After all, memorization processes may not reflect reality, but distort it.
The influence of emotions on memory is sometimes so strong that it can modify or remember the information. Fantasies become part of reality, perceived as absolute reality.
Unfortunately, there is no method that helps to accurately distinguish true memories from false ones, which means that false ones take their place along with all memories.
Confabulation
In psychology, the phenomenon of false memories sometimes manifests itself in the form of confabulation. Confabulation - modified memories, facts that differ from reality or are transferred to another period of time, accompanying non-existent events.
In psychiatry, this phenomenon is usually referred to as disorders. The treatment of such disorders occurs by taking the necessary for correct operation memory vitamins, or in cognitive ways.
Memories are the mirror of our personality. They are pleasant and appear to motivate, inspire hope. They can be unpleasant to remind you of past experiences or to warn against stupid mistakes. But all the same, memories are an individual record of the soul, which can and should sometimes be played.
Human memory is a unique storage , which contains our memories of the soul, our experience, our past impressions. Sometimes it's so nice to get some past event out of your memory and plunge into it again with your head. Then our feelings come to life, the heart begins to beat faster and we seem to return again to those days that have long sunk into the past. Our memories are unique opportunity to live some moments of our life again, experiencing the same feelings and emotions.
Those people who have a good memory can only be envied, because they are able to remember everything to the smallest detail and often simply amaze others with their ability to remember details. But sometimes such abilities are not at all beneficial to the person himself. Admit it, at least once in your life you had to deal with people who remember only negative events and completely refuse to keep in their memory positive moments, good memories of the soul. At every opportunity, they get negative memories from the depths of memory, and each time they mentally return to past unpleasant situations, again and again experiencing negative emotions. Such people always have some horror stories heard on TV or from friends. It seems that they purposefully remember only what can upset or make you suffer again.
If you ask such a person what good things he remembers from his life, he will only wrinkle his forehead, but he will hardly be able to extract at least a few good memories from his memory. But, really in their life there was nothing good? It just can't be. The life of every person is made up of diverse events.. It contains both pleasant and not so pleasant memories. They are woven into our lives and form its fabric. However, is it really necessary to keep bad memories in mind? Is this burden so important that you can drag it on yourself throughout your life, periodically taking it out, blowing off the dust from it and again and again experiencing negative emotions?
What happens to us when we remember a past event that hurt us? A person is able to experience the past so vividly that all feelings and emotions come to life. and it turns out that a person is again involved in a situation of many years ago. If at the same time he experienced negative emotions, then, each time, returning to his memories, he will experience them again and again. Again and again destructive changes will occur in his body, caused by the feelings that he experiences. This can eventually lead to serious violations health, and, most importantly, the deterioration of the overall vitality. Let in ordinary life everything goes as it should, but a person, being in the power of the past, suffers and experiences heartache. Can you imagine what it's like to be in constant pain? A person becomes gloomy, he ceases to distinguish the colors of life.
On the contrary, if a person is able to remember only the good, he is optimistic about life and believes that everything will turn out. the best way. You need to learn how to keep in your memory only pleasant, positive, good memories of the soul.. They are able to charge us positive emotions, give us joy, inspire for future deeds. Good soul memories are a constant source of energy within you. from which you can recharge at any time. Such memories are needed, they decorate our life and make it richer. People who have made it a rule to remember only the good and not to keep the bad in mind are doing absolutely the right thing, because they do not dwell on the negative, but look boldly and optimistically into the future. Good memories of the soul allow you to fill your consciousness with light, and, most importantly, save about your life. positive impressions who will allow in old age to say to themselves: “I have lived happy life. She was so good!"
Do not fill your memory with garbage, do not store in it what needs to be disposed of. If you find yourself tending to remember only the bad things, be sure to rebuild yourself. Do not harbor resentment or anger at someone. Just let go of those memories. Something good is definitely happening to you. Focus on it. Concentrate on positive events and consciously keep them in your memory.
If you have a computer, then you absolutely clearly follow what is stored in its memory. You delete unnecessary files from your hard drive so that they do not take up space there. Do the same with your negative memories. Just delete them from your memory. Don't go back to them, stop bringing them into the light of day. You have many other, pleasant and useful things that should be kept.
Do you remember bad things? Does it need to be done? How do you think? Are there good soul memories in your memory? Share your opinion with us, we will post it on the site.
