Live – Love -Serve ☘️

To my dear readers we are well into the month of February-  I hope this year has been good for you. The intent of my writing today is to highlight key concepts from my recent read of an amazingly well written book called the Power of regret by David Pink  

Rationale for my choice of the topic is that it resonates definitively  with the ethos of wellness. So on that note ….. 

Regret is one of the most universal common emotions that all human beings experience- regret is an integral part of how we think  and feel ; therefore regret  also has a powerful influence on our actions.  

The reflective component that comes with regret helps us in processing what has happened , where one might have erred and helps in taking ownership to the way we move forward ,- alternatively “ looking back helps us move forward” 

Regret involves using language – words to articulate an experience that is likely to have been unpleasant or painful. The more we use our words to address the regret , we are able to process and unpack the painful experience – it therefore becomes more meaningful and concrete.  

Regrets are life lessons and can be categorized into  4 core components – 

1. Foundation regret is the value we place on stability ☀️
2. Boldness regret represents the value we place on growth  💫
3. Moral regret unpacks the value we hold on being good and doing good  ⭐️🌟💫
4. Connection regret is about extending ourselves to the spirt of kindness , grace and love  💛

Reflective aspect of regret stems from an innate need to set things right –   clarifies what we value , and can be a motivator in helping us to do better in future. It helps one to identify about things that matter –how well we live our lives ,about growth , about connections, love and goodness. 

I have so loved reading this book and am so grateful to have been able to share this with you .  

Much love
