Do you have regrets?

A few years ago, I felt like I didn't have that many regrets.

But, as time goes on I have gained new awareness that I do have regrets. And, I've learned from some and not from others.

So, what to do about the nagging regrets that still hold fast to the heart and mind?

I've always thought I could learn from the past toward improving the future, but reading Daniel Pink's recent book release gave me pause to think about how to reflect on my regrets in specific ways depending upon the type of regret. And, yes, there are different kinds of regrets.

Though I go over a few insights about the "if only" regrets nd the "at least" regrets, the four core regrets, and ways to move forward, I'd still encourage you to read the book for further insights.

For me it helped to pause, write down my own regrets, and engage in the exercise of re-framing a few of them.

Some regrets are more important to address than others. But, knowing how to compassionately take a look at your regrets and leveraging the lessons to move forward can be part of offering up your best work.
