How do I quit thinking about the past?

[DCLuvinit]

I have really been missing a certain time in my life lately when I lived in my hometown. I don't know why, because I am very happy with my life and my husband. Has anyone ever been stuck longing for the past? How did you get out of it? I want to be enjoying life in the moment, instead of replaying old memories in my mind.

I know a often fall into the trap. The best way out of it for me is to set about filling the present with challenges and excitment. Find something challenging and take it on. This will mean moving a lot of your focus to the future. Ask yourself, what it is about the past that you find appealing? Then ask why don't you feel that now? Once you have those answers, set youself about a challenging project that includes these things. In no time, you'll be so busy living that you wont need to look back to the past.

I find myself thinking about stuff like that too sometimes.....

For me it's because after college, I didn't move home afterwards and there were a lot of friends/etc....that I lost touch with....

My high school is so lame that there haven't been any reunions..no 5 no 10 no 15

I wonder what happened to people....
