Assess the regrets that you are feeling, and rectify what you can. If your regret is based on something you did that hurt another person, make amends. Clear the air and apologise to them.
Let go of past mistakes. Forgive yourself and accept where you are today. Learn that there are things that can never be changed. Don’t waste time worrying about things over which you have no control.
You will become far more proficient if you aim for progress rather than perfection, and will find it easier to do so.
Consider regret as an opportunity to learn. Accept your mistakes and ask yourself what you could have done differently. Think about what causes you to do things that you regret and work on changing that behaviour.
When you’re jealous or find yourself filled with hate for someone or something, stop. The only person it’s hurting is you.
Gossip, problems of the past, events you cannot control, negative thoughts and negative people; time spent on these is time wasted.
Sometimes having that difficult conversation is the only way to move things forward. Be brave and get it out of the way so that you can both make progress together.
Loving yourself is not an ego-building exercise. It is putting the negative self image away and realising that the person you are is worth loving.
Online volunteering allows you to do voluntary work to help those in need, at a time that suits you from your own home. Share your skills with those who really need them.
Don’t just automatically do things. Take a moment and say “why do I do this?” The key questions are usually who, what, when, where, and why!
