Everyone has regrets about things in life. The question is, what can we do about it? How do we live a life with fewer regrets and how do we deal with the regrets we already have?

first, let\\u2019s define regret.

Regret is a self-focused negative emotion that occurs when a person believes their past actions or behaviors, if changed, may have achieved a better outcome.\\xa0

People often get regret confused with remorse. They may both elicit an apology but remorse involves admitting one\\u2019s own mistakes and taking responsibility for one\\u2019s actions when we\\u2019ve hurt someone else, and regret is how a choice has hurt ourselves.\\xa0

remorse is more relationally focused and regret is more internally focused - basically we think it\\u2019s all our fault. And like many of my clients, we are the hardest on ourselves and tend not to give ourselves the same grace as we would to others. But this also means that we have the power of choice and can decide to shift out of regret once we understand it.


Affirmation: \\xa0I live my life in this moment.\\xa0 I pause and make the best choices for myself, understanding how each decision serves me in this lifetime.


Oracle Cards

  1. When I honor my feelings, I find my power in powerful situations.\\xa0
  2. If I want to feel supported, I must support myself.
  3. Sometimes NO is the most loving response.
