Exactly what I've been doing my best to master over the last few years! Curbing the wallowing and reminiscing (it's fine once in a while of course, but troublesome when it's a daily habit), focusing instead on making better choices going forward.

Admittedly, embracing the present without wishing that it was different or better in some way can be quite difficult. It's just so much easier to dream about the past or the future rather than face what's right in front of you.

However, when you're at least aware of the issue, you can do your best to make it better.

Great piece! Thanks for sharing!
