1. Through a process of facing and dealing with uncomfortable situations or issues in your life, you learn about yourself and grow as a person.
2. It is important to acknowledge areas of personal weakness and to try to move past them or to transform them into strengths. Never underestimate or discount the areas of strength that you already have. Everyone has areas of strength, even if they don't believe that they do. Focus on areas of strength while trying to also transform any areas of weakness into strengths.
3. Attempting to hold negative memories or memories of traumatic events or mistreatment buried deeply inside of yourself can lead to the abuse of alcohol or other psychoactive substances, and also to mental and emotional deterioration as your life proceeds.
4. Let the past go when you are ready to do so, and if there are people who hold you back from healing and moving forward because they trigger memories of traumatic events, other negative memories or mistreatment, let them go and keep moving forward towards healing and a life that will give you peace of mind.
