Stop beating yourself up over the past.

Walter E. Jacobson
About This Quote

When someone tells you, “Stop beating yourself up over the past,” they are telling you to stop torturing yourself mentally. When you beat yourself up for something that happened to you in the past, your body gets tired and your mind becomes numb. You can’t think clearly or make decisions. But, when you stop beating yourself up, you feel better because you are no longer exhausted by your emotions. Your mind can think clearly and make decisions without getting lost in the past. This is why people who beat themselves up for something that happened in the past are not only unhappy with their present lives but also unhappy with their pasts.
