We all someone in our friend group, or in our relatives that has a bad habit of regretting things that happened. But don't we all regret things that happened? Some people are just better at hiding and being low key about all regrets they had in their life. You see always regretting does have the potential to ruin your state of mind.
For some people it's really easy to say get over it, you will be okay, it was meant to happen. Those statements are nothing but lies. Did that give you a shock? Everyone has their own way of handling emotions. But does everyone have their own way of handling regret?
Often times when we get tired of hearing people talking about what they regret we tend to get distant from them. We don't want to listen to their problems or hear about a possible regret they just had. We just leave because we think we're superior and we don't have to listen to others whine about the past.
We are so busy in assuming that a certain someone has nothing better to talk about than what he or she regrets. However, did we ever care to ask what they felt in the moment? If they were nervous or anxious? We just like to shut them out.
You see regret is a feeling where one wishes he or she could take back what they did. But what if you could take back the regrets you have? Would that satisfy you? Some will answer yes but some will say they enjoyed the suspense the action lead up to but didn't like the outcome.
We always dwell within our regrets. We never focus on the outcome of it. If we do focus on the outcome we only focus on it because it embarrassed us or we didn't want that outcome. We then assure and promise ourselves over and over again that I won't do this action because the potential outcome could have the potential to lead me to regret.
We all experience different things. Some which we like and repeat and some which we don't. However, we shouldn't live with a weight on our shoulder. Let go of what you regret. There is nothing you can do about your regret. Well, maybe there is? Just let it go.
Dwelling in the past and dwelling about regrets you have does nothing but hurts you mentally. Star living in the now. Start creating memories that are actually exciting to look back to. You get a chance every single day to write something in your book. Make it count.
Don't care about what people will think. In the end, your living your own life. Don't live it with someone's expectations or someone's criticism. Because living by what others say or think about who will only leave you with a life full of regrets. Live your dreams out and make the most of the present because the future is never guaranteed.
