Often times we just make due and keep on going. But the truth is we never really move forward, because we have an underlying issue that just lingers. If we were to actually sit down and review what is really bothering us, we would realize it is probably residue from a past hurt. Maybe that is your fear, going back into the past. You don't have to, you can heal without figuring out exactly the past hurt. The choice is yours but either way you can move forward if you take the time for you.
Here are some quick mindset tips that we can use to create a better way of coping with loss and letting go so we can move forward:
Practicing Daily Self Love/Self Care Activities
Forgiving and being patient with ourselves
Grounding ourselves and moving foward in our personal growth journey
Practicing Daily Self Love/Self Care Activities:
Create a daily self care routine that works for you and your lifestyle. choose activities you want to do ie if you can'g do or like yoga then choose something you like. Maybe you just like to listen to relaxation music throughout the day
Journal everyday as it does help with letting go of past feelings/hurts, helps you see what a great life you actually have, shows your progress, and a great place to just write out those feelings we tend to bottle up. It helps you grow and move forward by answering some questions to let go

Forgiving and being patient with ourselves:
Practice forgiving yourself. Write a letter to you giving forgiveness. Pretend you are forgiving a friend for all the things you are sorry for, but then read it to yourself and let it go. We are so hard on ourselves but as with kindness and forgiveness for others we need to do that for ourselves too. It is the way to move forward.
Be patient with yourself. Watch your words to yourself when you make mistakes and notice how harsh you are with you. Replace the words with love and kindness or affirmations. Eventually your words soften and you start to be kinder to yourself

Create a plan of action that you can follow and record your daily progress. Remember we are all works in progress and to be patient with the outcomes.
