Can We Flip Nostalgia So It Heals Us?

We all have those times where we feel down about life, and wish we were having the fun experiences of our pasts again. But allowing these feelings to run unchecked tends to only cause us to feel miserable about our current lives. Especially these past couple of years.



I hadn't been into downtown Ottawa for a couple of years, but I went today. I deliberately took a longer route, to see more scenery. I road buses through familiar areas from back in my teens and twenties, when life seemed so uncomplicated. When cracking jokes and window shopping, or checking out music and clothing shops with friends felt like such fun, and like it would last forever. I don't know where the idea came from, but soon after comparing my life then to now, I just thought, Fuck this, I'm not getting caught in negativity. I'm worth more than that. I give so much to people and some of the people I have loved unconditionally gave me nothing in return. A younger me, though happier in some ways, would have hated people who made her feel used. In fact, many times I did. But when I used to allow myself to feel hate, it often hurt me more than it could ever hurt anyone else. Sure I still get annoyed like anyone else, but I don't do hate anymore. Learning through repetitive healing excercises to naturally embody a state of love, and always wanting to help others, people like me often forget to love ourselves.



So here's a nostalgic willpower exercise you can do. I hope it helps. Don't forget to take care of yourselves empaths, because if you don't, can you really do much to help others take care of themselves?


Breathing deeply from my diaphram, in and out, I go back to a time in my past where I was carefree. I say to myself, that mindset was me, and I make it me again. I make a copy of my past positive energies and saturate my entire body now, with it, from head to toe, including my electromagnetic field, which is otherwise known as my subtle bodies. I keep breathing in and out slowly, as my past inoccence, wonder and hopes for a bright future return to me. Feeling my entire self tingling, and filling slowly, yet surely and gently with 100% potential, 100% calmness and 100% confidence. I embody 100% love and as a natural result, inspire others to do the same.


Note: This can be effective by adding any positive attributes you want. I encourage you to journal in this fashion, and feel free to contact me to discuss healing.



Peace.
