How can I overcome negative nostalgia?

I've been feeling really down lately because I keep thinking about the past. How can I overcome this negative nostalgia?

It's common to feel nostalgic, but when it becomes negative, it can affect your mood. Have you tried focusing on the present?

Not really. I often find myself lost in memories that make me sad.

One technique is to practice mindfulness. Try to engage in activities that ground you in the present moment.

That sounds helpful. Are there specific mindfulness exercises you recommend?

Yes! You could try deep breathing exercises, meditation, or even journaling about your current feelings to help process them.
