Do you get filled with regrets frequently? I certainly do! In this post I’d like to speak out something that mostly we will do not consider.
Just for the moment, can you try giving yourself praise and thanks for regretting up so well? So, congratulate yourself on doing it so well. It really is quite the accomplishment to do it to the extent you do. Now, why not try congratulating yourself on being as flawed as you are? We have all got issues that we let hold us back. So, just for the moment, give yourself praise for being as wonderfully flawed as you are. You hate all of those flaws, right? Well, just give yourself praise and approval for holding onto that feeling of hatred and resistance for so long.

According to Katherine Mansfield, “Make it a rule of life never to regret and never to look back. Regret is an appalling waste of energy; you can’t build on it; it’s only for wallowing in.”

You’ve been doing wonderfully so far in your life. Don’t have fear for the future, and do not weep not for the past. Only a really strong person would hold on to a strong feeling like that for so long! And now, just for the moment, could you give yourself some approval for just being as perfect and as flawed as you are? May be just because it’s a very smart thing to do.

Take this exercise seriously. Most people have never taken the time out to honestly give themselves approval for being both the perfect and flawed being they are. By praising your negative emotions, rather than attempting to suppress them – we feel so much better, and become more in harmony with the beautiful duality that life provides. Enjoy your day – and give yourself approval even if you don’t! Our defects are just all right!

“I have no regrets in my life. I think that everything happens to you for a reason. The hard times that you go through build character, making you a much stronger person.” –Anonymous

In fact regrets provides us launch pads for new opportunities. After all, you’re incredibly good at… Right? Of course you are!
