Think of a painful incident from your past which happened to you.
👽 How long did it take you to bring this to your memory?
🤖 When was the last time you thought about this event?
☠When you thought about it, were you filled with rage/anger/disappointment/regret/sadness?
👺 How often do you bring this past event into conversations?
👿 How often do you use this event as a weapon to punish others?
And here is an even more provocative question:
Does the experience and memory of this event impact your current life – where you adjust events because of the trauma or pain of the past event?
The key point about living in the past is that often, we are not even aware of this. The above questions are a starting point to assess whether your past events are like a scab you pick at continually, and which is not allowed to heal.
