We all experience regret, wishing we had acted differently and imaging how things could have been. Regret plays a role in the learning process and often leads to positive action. Regret motivates many people to enter rehab, seek professional guidance, or help others to avoid making the same mistakes. Dwelling too much on what we could or should have done, however, takes a physical and emotional toll. Regret can block us from experiencing love, pleasure, and joy in the present. As we go through life, we learn to process regret by letting go and moving on, or taking positive action to change our circumstances. Deeper regrets arise when we are unhappy with our lives, mourning a loss, or comparing ourselves to someone we admire.

In the last 18 months, social interaction has changed significantly due to the pandemic. As regulations became part of the new normal, families have spent more time together and those relationships have been reshaped as many returned home. According to Psychology Today, the family has become more influential as a social institution as social distancing has limited our time with our colleagues and friends. Further, a study has found that siblings have helped buffer the social effects of pandemic, particularly amongst young people. How do we take a moment to appreciate the lessons learned during this transitionary period?
