I’m trying to take my own advice right now. But still have a hard time, forgiving myself for allowing them access nor seeing sooner. Can’t beat them up, so I beat myself up emotionally.

@hopefulencounter i understand how you feel but sometimes it isnt about regreting someting you might have done in past. maybe it is about how you can reflect on it and move towards the future.

@hopefulencounter

every decision you’ve made has led you to this point in life. Every bad moment lets you appreciate every good moment that much more. Every friend who you’ve gained would not be in your life in a hypothetical parallel timeline where ‘that thing’ didn’t happen. Every person who walked out on you showed their true colors sooner rather than later preventing present you from the hurt. Everything gets counterbalanced so remember that whenever you feel like ***, it’s life's way of getting you some happiness. It may not come now. It may not come for a while. It may not be obvious that something good has come your way. Just remember that the scale of life has to stay balanced and all the little things that make you happy are working to keep you in a balanced state. If the scales of life tip too far you turn into an overly ecstatic or overly angry gnome. You have not gotten to that point yet so that’s how you know you’re doing okay.

Its a feeling you will live with for long. However you can overcome it and take the best of it. You have regretted enough I guess and its a bad decision that was made but its made and done. There's nothing you can do to undo it. If it will help at all, take it to your advantage to learn from it and progress further. One decision I made in life had made me the person I have become now (after 20 years of living in regret, guilt and remorse). It made me stronger when I thought I couldn't be. It made me more mature when I thought I was a kid at one point and couldn't make decisions. It had made me wiser when I thought it was the dumbest decision ever. Life can make a span and its on you to take the turn that could make you or break you. Please remember we are humans and if we don't do mistakes and regret them then I guess we wouldn't know it was a mistake in the first place. Take good care of your wellbeing and don't let it eat you more. You deserve love and joy. Forgiveness is a blessing. Forgive yourself.

@hopefulencounter you can't go back to the situation and correct it if you do it you will not be able to tell apart between a good and bad decision.So instead of regretting and overthinking accept it as a lesson and make sure the next time it won't be the same anymore 🍀

We are all human and making mistakes is part of our nature the fact that you feel regret is actually a blessing it means your heart is alive and you’ve recognized your error and however, we cannot turn back time no matter how much we wish we could the real mistake is staying trapped in the past you cannot change what power to change your present and build a better future treat yourself with kindness learn the lesson and you deserve to move forward🤍

Regret is something helps us to know when we've made a decision that didn't work out the way we wanted. While it feels bad in the moment, it helps us reflect on that decision and what we can do differently in the future.

When regret comes, pause for a moment 🌿

and take a breath.

Remind yourself: “I did the best I could with what I knew at that time.” 🤍

Then gently ask yourself: “What can I learn from this?”

💭 After that, shift your focus to the present moment~something you can see, hear, or do right now 🌸.

Focus on the present..

Because worrying about past choices won't change them.

And in realty there's no perfect choices

It corresponds to our desires..🕊

Its human to make mistakes.

That one decision were also part of being human.🌌

Its just to understand what decision brings what consequence from which experience we face..

Its part of us..don't fight the thought..accept it and move forward..

Accept yourselves! Live in present!

Have a great time!🌳

Take care if yourself!🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳
