are a huge cause of self-inflicted suffering.

to put the past in the past where it belongs.
However, sometimes a simple symbolic act can help immeasurably
to grant ourselves freedom from the past.

she will hear her heart, saying,

that God planted in your days?
What have you done with the talents
God bestowed on you?"
