Would you really dig into yesterday's garbage to make tonight's meal? Do you dig into yesterday's mental garbage to create today's experiences?
Interpretation
The quote emphasizes the importance of letting go of past negativity to improve present experiences.
In this quote, Louise Hay uses the metaphor of digging into yesterday's garbage to illustrate how people often hold onto negative thoughts and experiences from the past, which can hinder their ability to live fully in the present. Just as one wouldn't want to use spoiled food for a meal, we should not rely on past mental clutter to shape our current reality. Instead, we are encouraged to cleanse our thoughts and focus on positive, constructive experiences to foster a healthier mindset.
In practice
In a motivational speech about personal growth and mental health.
Be grateful for what you do have, and you will find it increases. I like to bless with love all that is in my life right now-my home, the heat, water, light, telephone, furniture, plumbing, appliances, clothing, transportation, jobs-the money I do have, friends, my ability to see and feel and taste and touch and walk and to enjoy this incredible planet.
Deep at the center of my being there is an infinite well of gratitude. I now allow this gratitude to fill my heart, my body, my mind, my consciousness, my very being. This gratitude radiates out from me in all directions, touching everything in my world, and returns to me as more to be grateful for. The more gratitude I feel, the more I am aware that the supply is endless.

You are not a helpless victim of your own thoughts, but rather a master of your own mind.
It's only a thought, and a thought can be changed. I am not limited by any past thinking. I choose my thoughts with care. I constantly have new insights and new ways of looking at my world. I am willing to change and grow.
Oh what people of God we ought to be; and grace can make us so!
Without cunning, there is no innovation. Without ambition, there is no accomplishment.
Vocabularies are crossing circles and loops. We are defined by the lines we choose to cross or to be confined by.
If you're determined to think of yourself as limited, fearful, vulnerable, or scarred by past experience, know only that you have chosen to do so. The opportunity to experience yourself differently is always available.
Do not suppress it - that would hurt you inside. Do not express it - this would not only hurt you inside, it would cause ripples in your surroundings. What you do is transform it.
