4 Key Takeaways:
We feel more intensely towards the things we didn’t do rather than the things we did do. However, holding on to the narratives behind our regrets is a choice. Suffering because of regrets is optional.
We have regrets because we compare our choices to an ideal: what we think we should be, what we think we should have done, etc. We have an idea in our minds of what could have been. It is an invented narrative.
When we believe we’ve made a mistake, we feel like our identity has been attacked. However, it is impossible for your actions to always be aligned with your ideal self — simply because life happens!
Regret is disempowering. The past is done. Focus on what matters NOW. Hit the pause button when the regret narrative creeps up on you. Interrupt the narrative. Embrace the different parts of who you are. Recognize that you will always fall into the pattern of "disappointing" the ideal version of yourself.
