Things are happening all the time during our everyday lives and of course many of the things are positive occurrences and make us feel happy, contented, excited and even satisfied and smug. But there are other times when things happen and they really knock us off track. Our emotions and feelings can range from being sad, scared, shocked, worried, hurt or we might even feel guilty and ashamed. In these situations we feel trapped and we often can’t forgive or forget the people who have caused this to happen and sometimes we can’t forgive ourselves.
What Has Happened Has Happened
The first and most important thing to realise is that, “What has happened, has happened!” We can’t go back in time and change it and we can’t do anything about it. The second thing is that no amount of worrying, anger, fear, regret or anxiety is going to change it. It’s all too common for the “What If” scenario to come into play – could I have done something differently or said something else?
What Can Knock Us Off Track?

We Feel Justified By The Guilt, Pain And Anger
Our rational and conscious mind knows that the clock can’t be turned back but it’s not this that keeps us trapped, it’s our emotions and our inability to stop us feeling as we do and we feel justified by our emotional pain as we believe we deserve to feel that guilt, pain and anger. And with our emotions stuck, there is the ‘piggy-back’ effect as things seem to get bigger and bigger and worse and worse.
Find A Release And Liberate Yourselves
So why don’t we look at the situation rationally? Why don’t we address how we are feeling? Why don’t we change our perception of the situation? You really have suffered enough and these feeling shouldn’t stay with us for the rest of our lives. You need a release, to let go of the emotions that are restricting you and you will find that by doing so, you liberate yourself!
How To Change
· Be aware of the situation
· Consciously change your thoughts
· Allow yourself to change
· Read self-development books and do the exercises
· Visit a therapist
· Learn to forgive
LOCATE – UNCOVER – ACKNOWLEDGE – ACCEPT – RELEASE – MOVE ON
I have been working with clients for many years and I do believe everything happens for a reason. Although it may be hard to accept, everything really has happened exactly the way it was meant to and if it didn’t happen as it should, you’ll get your chance again.
There are no mistakes, just lessons in life!
