I spend too much time going over things that can't be changed. Stuff in the past. How do you retrain your brain, let go of those past thought and focus on the present?

Hi Jennifer, try distracting yourself with new positive experiences so those old ones you dwell on become more and more distant and less profound...it can be reading, exercising, hobbies, work. Think "memory generator" activities...sitting around is the kiss of death, keep it in moderation and get out of the house!
