Ep #513: Types of Regret

Brooke Castillo
About this episode

One of the least useful emotions we have is regret.

 

It usually comes after we’ve made a decision. Sometimes the decision was made a minute ago and sometimes it was made 10 years ago.

 

However, you don’t have to let regret stop you from moving forward.

 

Listen in this week to learn about the two types of regret we typically experience, and how to stop letting regret keep you stuck. I share a concept that set me free from my regret, why I don’t beat myself up when I feel regret, and how you can use your regret as an opportunity for progress.
