Right now, you're a bit stuck in the past. You just can't seem to shake what has happened or let go of things that no longer matter. Your brain is stuck thinking about and mulling over the past far more than it thinks about the present or future. While it's nice to reflect every now and again, your brain just won't let you move on!

At this very moment, you're probably thinking about something that happened in the past. Be it a nice memory of a birthday or a bad memory of a breakup; your brain is often stuck in the past. Though you'd like to live more in the "now" or focus on the present, your brain is steeped in nostalgia and longing for a time that's already happened.

Most of the time, you're stuck in the here and now, enjoying what's right in front of you. But sometimes, your brain takes a trip back in time and you're stuck in the past. While it is nice to remind and reflect, you can't let the past come back to haunt you. Remind your brain that you can't look back because you're not going that way!

While you might occasionally look back on the past or reflect, most of the time, you're firmly footed right in the present. You learned long ago that getting stuck on the past is a waste of time. What's happened, has happened. All you can do is learn from what has been and move forward with more knowledge than before!

Not only is your brain never stuck on the past, but you hardly ever think back to what was. You think looking back is a waste of time. After all, there's no time machine that's going to transport you to a better place and time. Instead, you focus on the present. After all, that's the only certainty you have!
