How do you make amends for what? You don't make amends because that is just another version of trying to fix and control things. You just stop trying to fix and control things.
Quote:
What will it feel like, look like, etc. when I am living a different way?
You will be focused on things that interest you, living your life, you will be happy, and you won't be making others happy your focus. You will help others if they ask for help, but you won't be trying to stop people from making mistakes or help them if they don't want your help.
You are responsible for your own happiness. Everyone is responsible for their own happiness. Nobody is responsible for somebody else's happiness.
It's so simple really. Letting go of trying to fix and control others is really the easiest thing you can do.
You don't lose compassion or empathy, but you understand that people have to want you to help them, and you understand your own limitations in terms of exactly what you can help people with. Can you help somebody who has had a car wreck by pulling over and calling emergency services? Yes, you CAN do that.
You can't make somebody happy, heal them emotionally, help them find their own spiritual path and so on. If they are interested in your happiness and your path, you can share what it means to YOU, but for them it can be something entirely different, and you understand that.
Find your own spiritual path, your own path to emotional healing, your own happiness.
