“To control your life, control your mind. To control your mind, control your breath.”― Stephen Richards
It is said we coach others how to treat us. If we frequently play the victim role of: “They are responsible for the way I act or feel,” we deprive ourselves of our potential to enjoy life since we are at the mercy of others.
We yield power to others and lose sight of our self-worth. As we surrender our power, others will use it according to their level of awareness.
That is, we bind ourselves to others by assuming control of the relationship rather than being a balanced union.
Therefore, we must release past mistakes and regrets so as not to carry them into the future. The way to do this is through the present moment which is our gateway to the future.
What occurred in the past lives on as a memory. To replay the past by inviting it into the present moment is not conducive to living a remarkable life. This is because we are held captive by our thoughts and emotions when we habitually replay past memories.
Can you relate to handing your power to others? If so, recall whether they used that power against you. Thoughts and emotions create chemical reactions within our body which influence our genetic destiny.
Letting go of the past means making peace with it and learning from the wisdom gained from our experiences. It invites us to bring love to the situation and let go of hurt or anger or other untoward emotional states.
The lessons from our experience served its part in our soul’s journey toward personal growth. The present moment contains the seed of opportunity which invites us into the future.
If we relive the past through toxic thoughts, we deny the future from making its way into our life, since our frame of reference is stuck in the past. Our mind cannot dwell in two places at the same time. It cannot live with past regrets and strive toward future happiness.
We must liberate ourselves of one and subsequently another door opens to transport us into our future. The mental and emotional energy required to live in the past is lost on opportunities that are better served for our future.
Similarly, assuming control of our life by getting out of our own way invites us to accept what shows up, despite our perception of how life should unfold. Roll with the punches calls for accepting the perfection of what is currently unfolding and owning the moment.
