“To be wronged is nothing, unless you continue to remember it.” – Confucius
This above quote just demonstrates the power of the mind. When we keep a memory in the forefront of our minds we will relive the same reactions we had made as if it just happened. When we can’t stop thinking about a negative event is because we have developed a cyclical pattern where we recall the memory, re-experience the negative emotions, and then recall the memory and re-experiences the event without end. But, if we can utilize that same mechanism to our advantage, then we can handle better difficult situations. Instead of focusing on a negative memory that elicit anger and/or pain, we can recall happy memories that can elicit feelings of joy and excitement.
