Hi Samuel,
thank you for reaching out! I would first start with making peace with the past. Acceptance is such a powerful tool, as what we resist persists. It also teaches us self-love and embracing our humanity. On some level we are all work in progress and what we often perceive as mistakes are just learning experiences. And if we can take the gifts of what we learnt from those experiences into our present moment, we are already healing our past. And even if it would only mean that we now have more understanding and compassion for ourselves and others, it would be more than enough. Learning to be gentle with ourselves and treating ourselves like a best friend is so important!

On a more practical level, it’s often helpful to do some physical exercise too which will ground your energy and calm the mind. Also being in nature is calming and relaxing.

I hope you found this helpful. In case you would like to take it further you can book one to one session of life coaching with me. Jana
