<human>:  How do I let go of past hurt?
<bot>: The best way to let go of past hurt is to recognize it, validate it, and then make a conscious effort to release it. Taking up healthy activities such as exercising, journaling, meditating, and talking to a trusted friend or counselor can help with this process. It is important to focus not just on the hurt itself, but on your own self-growth and wellbeing. Finally, it is important to practice self-compassion and forgiveness, both for yourself and for anyone who has caused the hurt.
