Do you feel haunted by regrets and waste countless hours thinking of what you would’ve done differently?
Are you losing sleep over your past choices and feeling self-resentment?
It’s time to reframe your mindset around regret.
Have you ever considered that…
🌺 Your past self is not the enemy
Realize that you did the best you could, at that level of consciousness, at that given moment. For whatever reason, you made that choice. Instead of undermining and attacking yourself, support and be proud of your choices. Instead of judging your past self and regretting their choices, honor them and appreciate your growth. That version of you is vital to your evolution, and the fact that you have an improved outlook on that situation now is a sign of personal growth you should celebrate. Shift your focus, appreciate every part of your journey, and channel your precious energy into improving and making better choices in the present and future.
🌺 You don’t have all the data
Realize that every moment is perfect and totally crucial to your growth and journey. The ego mind that is obsessed with labeling things as good or bad and maintaining a restricted point of view may lead you to believe that you would be better off if you’d made a different choice, but in reality that is not guaranteed. -How can you regret a choice if you haven’t experienced the alternative outcomes? For all you know, you may be on the best-case scenario one. For all you know, that choice you’re losing sleep over may cause a ripple effect that’ll lead you to your biggest dreams. You were guided to make that choice for reasons you’re not even aware of. Realize that you are divinely guided and protected and that the universe has your back. Sometimes you just gotta say ‘everything happens for a reason’ and maintain your unwavering faith.
🌺 You’re missing the gold
Instead of focusing on the ‘negative’ outcomes of a choice that leads you to regret it, try to understand what it’s trying to teach you. It is true that our 3D reality is a mirror and a perfect teacher. Every regret holds great wisdom and insights for us. In reality, if you lean in and examine why you feel regret, instead of just treating it as a painful feeling that you can do nothing about, you can alchemize it into growth. You can change the essence of regret from a desperate, restraining feeling, into a helpful, interesting one. Treat regret as a flashlight that shows you the way to an improved version of you. Treat it as a welcome emotion you can act on, not a burdening emotion you have to suffer through. And get ready for some serious healing.
Give this some thought and maybe next time, treat that painful feeling of regret differently.

Hey Calliope :-) Just to add to this. Your past is over. What’s done is done. You can’t unbreak a plate than fell to the ground and broke. We also don’t have Time Machines to go back and change the past. It all comes down to learning the lesson and moving forwards. Don’t make the same mistake again. A lot of life’s experiences is all about learning lessons and making better decisions next time.
