This is the time of year when Grief sets in for most of us!
There are many ways we grieve including the loss of loved ones, missed opportunities, unmet expectations from relationships, and transitioning from the old into the new. (I’ll elaborate on this later)
I hear so many speak about how things used to be, the “GOOD OLD DAYS” and make statements like “I’ll never get those times back”, “those were the best days of my LIFE” (I raise my hand- Guilty)
It’s okay to remember the good old days and acknowledge the good times….
But we must be mindful of staying in the nostalgia in such an EXTREME way that we go into further grief, and regret being unable to see the possibilities of creating the new
“CREATING THE NEW GOOD OLE DAYS”
The moments you create today, this week, and this year WILL SOON too, become "the Good Old Days"
So, as you remember the Good Old Days, don’t forget to create them also.
Here's a journal prompt for you:
Make a list of things you want to do in this season of your life, and the new memories you want to create.
