I had a lovely comment from a reader thanking me for my post regarding looking forward not backward and I would like to add to that the fact that dwelling in the past is something we all do and also it is a natural reaction and emotion. I think there is a huge difference between thinking about the past as it may help one improve their present situation, and reliving bad and unproductive events from old and unchangeable times.

I like to think I practice what I preach so I do feel free to put this out there. We can change the present and the future but not the past.  My dear friend Nancy Jamello who is an awesome yoga teacher is fond of quoting that old saying, “ The past is gone, the future is unknown. Now is a gift, that is why we call it the present.”  Think about it!
