It's Okay to Look Back Sometimes

Angela Adams

Yesterday I saw a sign that read, “Don’t look back.  You’re not going that way”.   This has become a very popular sentiment, especially when it comes to our mental health and well being.  But, I don’t fully agree with this idea of not looking back.  I think there can be real value when we look back. 

In this short and sweet episode I will explain the three different lenses that we most commonly look through when we "look back".  

  • The lens of regret and shame
  • The lens of nostalgia
  • The lens of accomplishment and growth

I believe that there is a very real difference when we look back and stay in that space, vs. looking back to see where we've been.  I will share a personal example that shed some light on this for me just recently.  

I do believe that sometimes looking back can actually give us the momentum to keep moving forward.
