Some situations require us to observe carefully, not reference past experience or any narrative, adapting and improvising.

Well said; Objective observation and action taken based on that alone would be helpful most of the times.

It seems easier said than done to 'Leave the past behind and move towards the future'. 

I read a comment somewhere, ' A big reason why a lot of us live in the past is because our present sucks and we don't see any future ! '

Any practical suggestions preferably by psychiatrists and psychologists, and others too, are welcome.

TIA.

 

Distracting yourself can work to a degree. There is a search for the final answer, that when realized, will cure the problem. That is ok and turns out the answers are multiple and smaller in scale. You decide you are going to go play Tennis with a friend. You blink away from that cloud you were watching while thinking about the past, and you decide to go for a walk.
