In this episode of the Searching Inward Podcast, George Stull, Scott Reall, Anna Bryant and Seth Abram talk about nostalgia and its healing properties. Looking back on your life can either bring rich memories or a longing to go back and do things differently, sometimes both. We discuss how nostalgia can motivate us and how to use it to propel us to move forward.“I think sometimes when we think about nostalgia,... we look back at it, maybe at a time when  we were particularly connected and happy and feeling secure in those connections. And I think that too contributes to the feelings of nostalgia, especially when relationships change through either just time, distance, lost, development.” -Anna [12:23]“If nostalgia is looking back while looking forward, then the other question is how do we want our stories to end?” -George [13:54]“I think the nostalgia actually helps us in so many ways. It gives me a positive memory and I’m sad that it’s gone, but the strength of it is that it brings a positive memory and I have the ability to make those memories new now and I move forward.” -Scott [19:58]“I think it’s just, for one, a good thing to keep in mind – Whenever there's a rumination of thought, it means something needs felt.” -Seth [23:26]TIMESTAMPS[00:01] Intro[00:34] Looking back to move forward[05:26] How the hosts experience nostalgia[16:26] How nostalgia motivates us[20:50] Can you avoid nostalgia?[24:48] Use our paths to move us forward[26:33] Groups for the upcoming yearFollow and ContactFacebook: Restore Small GroupsInstagram: @restoresmallgroupsYouTube: Searching Inward PodcastWebsite: restoresmallgroups.org
