Sucks fix perspective shift affirmations, where we take those sticky
situations life throws at us and turn them into something
dead well, doesn't suck so much. Today, we're diving headfirst
into a juicy one letting go of regret. Ever, find
yourself replaying moments from the past, wishing you could hit
(00:21):
rewind and make things different. Yeah, we've all been there, right.
It's like this mental loop that sucks up your energy
and keeps you stuck in a feeling of what if
and I should have? But guess what, Dwelling on the
past ain't going to change anything. In fact, it just
makes the present moment feel even more baw So how
do we break free from this regret trap and start
(00:42):
focusing on what truly matters right now? Buckle up, because
I'm dropping some golden nuggets of wisdom that'll have you
saying goodbye to those pesky regrets and hello to a
brighter future. Number One, Acknowledge it, yep, Just admit to
yourself that you're feeling regret. Don't try to bury it
or pretend it doesn't exist. That's like putting a band
(01:04):
aid on a gaping wound. It ain't going to fix anything.
Talk about it, journal about it, Scream into a pillow seriously.
That can help. Number two learn from it. Every experience,
even the ones we regret, holds valuable lessons. Look back
and ask yourself, what did I learn from this situation?
What would I do differently next time? Think of regret
(01:25):
as a compass pointing you in the direction of growth.
It's a sign that you're evolving, becoming wiser, and taking
responsibility for your choices. Number three, forgive yourself. This one's huge.
We tend to be our own harshest critics, but let
me tell you, holding on to guild and self blame
only keeps you stuck in the past. Practice self compassion.
(01:47):
Extend yourself the same kindness and understanding you would offer
a friend who made a mistake. Everyone messes up sometimes
it's part of being human. Number four, Focus on what
you can control. You can't change yesterday, but you can
absolutely shape today and tomorrow. Focus your energy on things
within your power, like setting new goals, taking positive actions,
(02:08):
and nurturing relationships that bring you joy. And lastly, number five,
celebrate the present moment. Life is a beautiful journey full
of unexpected twists and turns. Instead of dwelling on what
could have been, savor the little things, a warm cup
of coffee, a heartfelt conversation, the sound of laughter, Find
(02:28):
joy in the ordinary, appreciate the beauty around you, and
embrace this incredible gift called life. Okay, let me share
a quick story that might resonate with you, guys. I
remember a few years ago I had this major setback
in my career. I felt like a complete failure, replaying
all those what if scenarios in my head. It was
(02:48):
a dark time, to say the least. But eventually I
realized that dwelling on it wasn't going to change anything.
So I took a deep breath, acknowledge the disappointment, learn
from the experience, and decided to move forward. I focused
on what I could control, honing my skills, networking with
new people, and pursuing opportunities that aligned with my passions.
(03:10):
And guess what, it worked. Not only did I bounce
back stronger than ever, but I also discovered a whole
new path that was even more fulfilling than the one
I had originally envisioned. So there you have it. Folks,
letting go of regret is like shedding a heavy coat
on a sunny day. It frees up space for joy, growth,
and possibility. Don't let those past mistakes define you. Instead,
(03:32):
use them as stepping stones to create a brighter future. Remember,
the power to change your story is in your hands
right now. This episode of Life Sucks Fix was all

present moment. We talked about acknowledging those feelings, learning from
our experiences, forgiving ourselves, focusing on what we can control,
