Regret can weigh heavily on the heart, often stemming from missed chances rather than wrong actions. Understanding this helps us approach regret with compassion and clarity.
Stoic philosophy teaches acceptance of what we cannot change and focusing on our responses. Mindfulness cultivates present-moment awareness, reducing rumination. Journaling and forgiveness exercises further aid emotional healing.
By releasing regret, we free mental space for joy and resilience, empowering us to live fully in the present.
