Stuck. Really stuck.
The past at times can be this horrible places that rips apart our ability to live in the present. When our past has been left to wreck havoc on our lives, we live in a an abundance of pain and fall victim to things that are now completely out of our control.
The past at times can become this metaphorical prison cell that deters us from living in the present and truly being able to create a better future for ourselves.
So what can you really do to free yourself from the constraints of the past?
You have to clean it up. You have to be willing to go back and settle the fights you've had, to make the apologies you need to make, to come to terms with what you have personally done and how things didn't work out so well. While this isn't easy, it's the most important part of the journey in returning back to the present moment. Because honestly, if you don't settle your past, it will continue to pop up time and time again and haunt you and your mind for as long as you permit it.
But the most beneficial aspect of cleaning up your past is that you give yourself a fresh slate to work on in this moment. When you aren't controlled by situations and events that have taken place previously, you can really show up in this moment and be whoever you want to be. Isn't that powerful? Wouldn't that be ideal?
While it's hard to not live in the past and equally hard to not live in the future, you must. You must because you can't go to either places and living there mentally will only take you out of creating grand possibilities today.
Take a chance. Take a risk. Be courageous and go back into the past in order to create a better future for yourself tomorrow.
In the end, this moment right now is all you really have.
