You may feel drawn to the past today, and this nostalgia can prompt you to put aside your day's objectives so that you can reminisce. This can be a wonderfully pleasurable and healthy activity, particularly if you have many happy memories to look back on. However, you may find yourself longing for the past to reappear and become ungrounded if you spend too much time comparing your current life and your personal history. Should this happen today, you can channel the longing you feel into constructive action by considering what precisely you liked about those days now gone and how you can recapture some of the bliss you once felt.

We sustain lasting feelings of inner peace even when we find ourselves longing to return to some earlier stage of our lives by reminding ourselves that while the events in our memory may have come and gone, the impressions they left upon us will last forever. During periods of upheaval, our nostalgia can reach an apex in which we not only look back on our reminiscences with fondness but ardently wish that we had not passed certain easier plateaus of development. When, however, we recognize the importance of ongoing evolution in our lives, we can appreciate the bliss of the past without wishing to return to it. Our obsession with our individual histories fades, and is replaced by a serene sense of grateful pleasure. As you reflect upon your past today, you will discover that you can vicariously enjoy what has come and gone without losing yourself in it.
