I decided some time back that I don't want to live my life with any regrets if I can help it. At the end of the day I don't want to "wish I would have done that or said that or didn't do that". Well some days are certainly better than others. I have implemented a 24 hour rule when I start to feel an overwhelming and perhaps irrational thought boiling up. I try my best not to act for 24 hours, this gives me time to calm down and be sure my actions and words are not irrational but intentional. So far I think my 24 hour rule has worked pretty well.
So what to do with those regrets I have from the past? How not to drag them around with me? I don't have a good answer for that other than to face it head on and deal with it and move on~also something I am trying to get better at.
