Do problems from your past trouble you?
I've sometimes found myself in a pattern of drudging up old problems from the past, as if they had anything at all to do with the present situation. They don't. Oh, they can certainly complicate things. And old problems will stick around as long as you invite them to. Don't invite them.
The problems of our past belong in the past.
Let's leave them there. Drop them like the dead weight they are.
When we fully resolve a present day problem it stops popping up in the future. So if past problems are popping up, maybe they aren't resolved. Resolve them. Retire them. Let them go. But, keeping them around sucks all the energy out of the room and has the problem solving effect of tying your shoes together. Why do that?'
Did you solve that problem? If so, let it go. If no, you know where to go: back to the plan to finish the job.
