You’re here today, doing the work, living from your Adult Chair, becoming who you want to become.
It feels really good. But as we live and grow and transform, it can sometimes bring up negative feelings about our past.
Whether we made mistakes, missed opportunities, were hurt by someone or experienced a life-altering loss, every one of us has something about our past we wish we could change.
Regret can cut deep – into our very souls – and bring a lot of pain, shame and blame with it.
But whenever we live in regret, it causes us to miss another opportunity: the chance to make the most of the moment we have right now.
In this show, I’m giving you three common reasons we get stuck in the past and six ways to make peace with your past and start living in the present moment.
You will gain a new perspective on your past and learn to reframe it so you can rewire your brain to live without regret.
Listen to discover:
Remember, today will soon become your past. Will you look back and wish you hadn’t spent it stuck in regret? Or will you make the most of the moment and use the power you have right now to be who you want to be today?
The present moment is such a powerful reality to live in.
It's here that we find peace and joy. It’s here that we have the ability to make this moment one we won't regret.
