How to Let Go of Regret

Let go of the ideals, and embrace reality.

  • The choice we made in the past is done, and we can’t change it. Some choices will be great, some won’t be perfect.
  • Making a bad choice isn’t in conflict with our realistic, not fixed self-identity. It’s a part of it.

This is a constant practice, but it helps us not constantly review past choices, but instead find satisfaction in what we’ve done and focus in what we’re doing now.

    This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
