fivestrpharm: One of my rebbeim once said that forgetting your past mistakes is the mitzvah of shikcha. We only use charata as a tool for changing gears but we then move forward and forget the past. We look only for what we can accomplish in the future. Probably the best eitzah is to dream how productive and successful you can be in whatever is the area of our talents. Maybe a successful businessman, professional or scientist. Enroll in classes and work towards a goal. That is the best medicine. Simply sitting in a room and trying to overcome the yeitzer hara or dwelling on how difficult things are will not work. The yeitzer hara will take you down again and again. You need to have a plan and long-term goal and keep your eyes on it 24/7. You won’t have time for the yetzer hara to work his mischief. You’ll have an exam in two days and a report due tonight and a 3 hour lab the day after, and each day your chavruisa will be yelling at you that you are not giving him enough time, either. Terrible stress is a very healthy thing.
