Do you find yourself reflecting on your life as the new year approaches?
I don’t know about you, but Christmas carols and Auld Lang Syne always make me reminiscent of the past. New Year’s Resolutions make me think about areas where I could improve or things I wish I had done better.
Is it the same for you?
Maybe you’re thinking about relationships that didn’t end the way you wanted or things you wish you would have said to someone when you had the opportunity to do so. Maybe you feel regret over things you wish would have ended differently, better or more.
Things like,
➡️I wish I told him that I loved him.
➡️I never thanked her for always making my favorite meal on my birthday.
➡️I wish she would have started cancer treatment sooner.
➡️I wish I could take back what I said.
➡️We should have gone on vacations.
➡️I wish I was more present when we were together.
➡️We should have taken that vacation before she died.
The problem with regret is that it keeps you out of the moment and it robs you of joy. Regretting things you wish you’d said or done can stay with you for a long time and limit your capacity for happiness. Sadly, it can impact your current and future relationships as well.
