Avoid or Embrace

Obviously avoidance strategy works best. Whether it’s a pesky person, sticky situation or unpleasant memories, it’s easier to avoid that path and gradually push them out of your memory and lives.

The harder path is to embrace, internalize and register the goodness. This makes the recall pleasant as you can train your mind to keep the memorable details and skip the rest. Easier said than done, try journaling the two side by side and you’ll be surprised by your resilience and strength.
