“By forgetting the past and by throwing myself into other interests, I forget to worry.”
— Jack Dempsey

Simplified Meaning:
When someone puts aside their memories and focuses on new activities, they stop feeling anxious. Think about when you’re very sad about something that happened. If you keep thinking about it, you won’t feel better. But if you start doing something else you like, such as playing a game or hanging out with friends, your mood can improve because your mind is busy with new things. It’s like a person who loses a job but then starts a new hobby like painting. Eventually, they stop stressing about the job loss because they’re excited about the new hobby. So, to feel less worried, try to leave the past behind and engage in things that make you happy and interested.
