If you try to ignore upsetting feelings like regret, it can diminish your joy or even manifest itself as physical pain.
Instead, slow down, be aware of the present moment and what sensations you are feeling, and accept how you feel while understanding that this feeling won't last forever.
Be aware of your negative thoughts and replace them with positive thoughts. For example, instead of quitting your exercise routine, think about how great you feel.
Focus on the good parts of your life. Be thankful for what you have.
