Let Go of the Past

In my work as a speaker and a coach, I get the chance to meet a lot of people who struggle with anxiety and depression. I’ve noticed that so many people beat themselves up over past mistakes and perceived failures. They point back to moments in their life and wish things were different. Or they look at their lives and become sad or frustrated because things haven’t gone the way they hoped. This might be the same for you.

Maybe you just moved back in with your parents because you didn’t have the grades you needed to stay in school. You might be upset because you’re a senior and feel like you didn’t make enough friends while in college, and now you think it’s too late. Perhaps you wish you would’ve been involved in more clubs or activities. Maybe you feel embarrassed by something you did while at school that you wish you could take back. Whatever it is you’re holding onto, I know these feelings of regret, frustration, and sadness can be haunting.

People who struggle with anxiety and depression tend to be incredibly hard on themselves. For some reason, the voice in our heads seems to be a little louder and more critical. Somewhere deep inside our brains, we don’t believe the anxiety and depression we struggle with on a daily basis is a valid enough reason to have setbacks. We believe that we should be stronger, and when we don’t meet that expectation, the self-critic chimes in to give its two cents.

In this chapter, you’re going to learn to give yourself permission to let go of the past, in three easy steps. You will change your relationship with failure, forgive yourself, and then take action.
