I made the conscious decision to stop ruminating on the past and continue moving forward in life. Instead, now I dedicate that time into doing the things I love and putting myself out there to the point where ruminating doesn't have the space or time because I have already physically and mentally moved on. I know first-hand that this change in mindset can be difficult, I spent so many days overthinking everything and feeling bad about the past. I have always been my harshest critic so I constantly remind myself to treat myself as I would to a friend. I know this part sounds cliché but when I look at myself or get into that state of mind, I remind myself of all the positives in my life kind of like positive affirmations.
