Be done with it

I am fond of this quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson below: Be done with it.

I’m a chronic nostalgic. I tend to ruminate about the past a lot — especially on situations that went awry. And I find myself getting caught up in old feelings of anxiety and worry by reliving situations.

Yes, it’s good to reflect and find the learning; but a constant rehash feels more hurtful than helpful.

There’s something to be said for ‘letting the day go.’ After some rest, tomorrow you can start again.
