Regrets

Although it is one of the terms with the most negative connotations, most people on the earth always claim to have some regrets..

What is a regret..?? Regrets are the feeling of losing out on the opportunities we had in past, which we think we should have taken.. It can be various types of regrets.. Regret of not studying well in school or college, the regret of not behaving right with people, the regret of not following our dreams, the regret of not doing our best in any situation, regret of missing out on stuff etc..

But I think although having regret is very obvious for people, still can be removed from your life.. Many people say many things when they reach their old age or middle ages that they miss out on.. We can hear the stories of what they regret the most, and make decisions in our life, as we don’t have to regret the same things…

I think the most valuable thing we can do is to do a value exercise.. We can take a day off our life and make a list of things we want to do in our life, and what we need to do to achieve those things.. What we want to feel at the end of our life, and what is most important to us, can be behaviour or a material object, there is no judgement.. You do you.. Try to be realistic and think about what you really want in your life, be true to yourself, and don’t try to accept the societal norms, because, in the end, you will only be left with yourself..

One of the exercises that is very nice is the gravestone exercise.. Try to write about the things, theta you want to be written on your gravestone, and try to find out how can you do those things.. It will be the things people will remember you for.. It may seem little to think about your own death, but the truth is always harsh.. we are all going to die one a day, and we don’t want to regret anything at the end, so find out what you want to be and do that.. Don’t think too much.. Enjoy your life..

There is nothing worse than having regret about something which was in your control..
