10 things: dealing with regrets

Living life with regrets is a waste of time. Those feelings will consume you and make you paralyzed. It takes a lot of time and self healing on my part. I’ve read in Cleo about things you can do in dealing with regrets.

#1) Write down your regrets

#2) Examine them – Understood the reasons behind your decisions

#3) Change your toxic thought patterns

#4) Grieve losses that you have suffered. Acknowledge that you feel sad or angry about the situation

#5) Make amends -

#6) Identify lessons – make sure you learn from regretful experiences. Mistakes are fine as long as they are new ones.

#7) Develop compassion – Understand other people’s point of view & empathize. Have compassion for yourself too

#8) Forgive others – this free you from anger and pain

#9) Forgive yourself – Stop condemning yourself
- in order to truly love yourself you have to be capable of forgiving yourself for being a human tornado of emotions, fears and appetites

#10) Live free of regret
  - Accept what has already happened , learn your lesson and move on

Hope this little list will help you deal with regrets. Life is to short to be wasted on negative things. I really need to remind myself over and over again.
