How to Live the No Regrets Lifestyle

Is there a relationship that you wish you could wipe out of your mind? Or perhaps a work situation or some other type of regret? Regret is a byproduct of fear and remorse and it doesn’t belong in the Play with the World lifestyle. When you choose to be present in your life, focusing on the moment and creating your dreams, regret does not exist because regret is really only experience.

Not all of life’s experiences can be good. When things happen that we are not comfortable with or wish would have turned out another way, rather than feeling regret, take the opportunity to learn from them.

Here are tips to help you live the no regrets lifestyle.

All experiences are lessons

Whether they are good or bad, lessons make us grow and teach us more about the world, others and ourselves. Why would regret have any place in a world of wonder? Your regrets can fall away by thinking about the situation and digging into the heart of it.

Regret exists because it is useful

When we feel regret because we feel guilty and embarrassed by what we have done, we are motivated to undo the wrongful things we did and make better, more careful decisions in the future. Regret is unavoidable because there are opportunity costs for every choice made. When you select a path, you immediately forfeit other choices and their benefits. By learning to let go of the lack, we can see that there are no wrong choices. Every choice is part of a bigger plan.

If you make one choice and grow to regret it, then there is a lesson for you to discover, but if you choose one path and grow from it, the lesson is learned, and your new future can reveal itself.

Look for the Lessons

We cannot move forward as fast when we are not learning the lessons. Life on earth is like being in a big classroom. We have lessons of love or hate, of compassion and kindness. When we stay in regret we choose not to do the homework. We do not have an opportunity to pass the course because we are not doing the work. When we do the work, we grow and learn more. Then we progress to the next course.

Face Your Fear

If you are fearful of a situation and choose not to move forward you could later regret that choice. In order to avoid feeling regret look at your fear and see what it is telling you. Many people pick up fears from their parents such as going to the dentist. Then they avoid going and their health suffers. Looking at your fear and moving through it will help you feel more healthy and safe. When you work through your fear, you will be living life more fully.
