Let me guide you through the remainder of this Month. Do not ruin a perfectly good present in the hope of a brighter future. Do not mess up today reminiscing the past.

Let me be your guiding angel just for today. Let me show you 5 sure shot ways to drive away the ghosts of your past.

1.Close the Doors🚪

When I say close the doors, I mean bolt it tightly so that you don't find an opening that lets you sneak past the wiser you.

We must end a relationship to start afresh. We have relationships not only with our partners , friends, colleagues but also with materialistic stuff.

It’s not easy. The new way of life dictates that we keep the doors open. But if you follow any path of spirituality, we are taught never to leave loose ends. They sometimes come to haunt us . They try desperately to tie a noose around our 🧣

Advice: Your ex is called an ex for a reason. You have left the company because you were unhappy. You couldn’t be friends with a person who treated you like 3 ply toilet roll.

Cutting off doesn’t mean you are being petty. It’s an informed choice. Forgiveness doesn’t mean you connect back.

2. Hoarding is a Sin, Charity is a Win

Yeah! That old pair of jeans that you wore in college that hangs in your closet. Your baby sweater that your great aunt supposedly gifted you on her deathbed when you were 2 months old. All these keep-sake memories need to remain just that- Memories. Hoarding in a world wrought with poverty is a sin. We try to associate and build relationships with physical property as a sign of our wealth , status & power. These wonderful things need to be given away when they are no longer of use. Hoarding is a serious psychological disease that very few seem to acknowledge in the world. We must create space in our hearts so that we can create some space in our homes and lives.

Advice: There is no easy way with parting your precious. Seek a cause you are willing to donate. Go and volunteer in an orphanage or an old age home. You will find it easier to part ways with things.

3. Ask For help

Don't be shy for your life's on the line. Don't let pride be your greatest downfall. Don't confuse being independent with being the only one to bear the burden.

The mantra to living life cannot be found in any book, secret cave or space. It's sheer experience and will power that helps you get through. This turbulent life cannot be lived without seeking help. Even Santa has elves as his helpers. Do not forget the Almighty who has several angels guiding you this very moment.

Advice: Drink to gather courage to ask for help. Do not drink to drown your sorrows or pain.

Join an anonymous self help group or talk to a shrink . Family & friends may not always have the answers you are looking for.

4. Create New Memories

Old photo albums make their way out of the closets. Beautiful and amazing times bring tears to our eyes. A walk down the memory lane can often make you feel depressed and lost. We cannot live our life based on past glories or relationships.

Create a new memory today . Go out click a picture of the moon or the tree. Spend some time with people who are there right now. If you are alone, call up a childhood friend or a random stranger for all I care. Make the most of today.

Advice: Get your head out of you sweet arse. Wallowing in self-pity is not going to get you anywhere. Call a friend or take a spontaneous trip.

5. Celebrate Life & Be grateful

This may sound like something you do only when you are happy or joyous but it's needed more when you have hit rock bottom. Countless lives have been lost due to this pandemic. People have left usway before their deserved time. Families, friends and relatives all over the world are mourning their loved ones.

And here I request all the ones who are left standing, be grateful. Your life is a priceless gift. The house that you live in with people to call your own is a luxury you cannot deny. Celebrate today without rhyme or reason. Be grateful to all that you have, for it may not see a tomorrow.

Advice: Follow your heart. There is no better person who knows you as intimately as "You".

That's all folks. Have a wonderful December free from the ghosts of your past.
