how can you sop living in the past?

Answer 1

In most cases, living in the past is caused by not letting go of something that didn't go as you planned. Learn to forget the things that didnt' go so right. Let go of things that hold you back. Look toward the future. Learn to love what will be.

Answer 2

You can not forget the past and the effect it has had on you,but you must put your future in the fore-front of your mind and concentrate on that,as the past is not as important as it may seem.
Yes you need answers as to "why" it happened,and was it something you done and could you have done things different.
But if you could have done things different you would have,but you had no idea of how to act or re-act or what was the right thing to do or say at the time.
I know,i am still wondering "WHY" after 40 years,and the answers could only come from a now deceased person.
I swore i wouldn`t let it get me down or effect my children tho,and have done pretty well so far.

Answer 3
