New vs You<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can be hard to accept new versions of yourself, but new versions of you happen all the time. As life un-periodically unfolds you have a choice to make, accept you as you are today, or don\u2019t accept it, it is new vs you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Psychologically it is said that we change our morals every ten years, and that every hour we spend in our own company we understand more of we are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take away the daily chores and hectic life and there you are as bare and natural as you ever were. But who are you now?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Often, we can mourn previous versions of ourselves, ones that seem less pressured, more carefree and fuller with life & love. But the reality is that, this is not you anymore, it is always going to be huge part of you though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Craving the old version of your life can be linked to nostalgia<\/strong>, which is a sentimental longing for the past that often brings feelings of happiness and comfort. These emotional responses can serve as a way to cope with current changes or challenges, helping to restore a sense of continuity and stability in your life. A reminder of who you once were can be seen as a reminder that you were once in a different position, it\u2019s our brains way of trying to heal. By strengthening the memory of when you were happier, reminding you it is possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the latter side of nostalgia, it can also bring individual\u2019s unwanted stress, sometimes memories are not needed to be re-surfaced, but they are anyway. Although I would see this is a reminder of how far you have come. You are safe now;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also strengthening that it is okay to be sad from the past, but don’t let it hold you down. You can be sad for as long as you need to be, but at some point you need to get up with this new version of yourself, it is the only way you will move forward. It is okay to not be okay, and please don’t hide away, the right people will accept you as you are x<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understanding Cravings for the Past<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
