HAD I KNOWN!

One of the most popular justifications individuals use for regretting what they might or might not have done is, "Had I known," and this is typically accompanied with sorrow, misery, and agony over what we might have avoided if we had not acted the way we did. Today, I'd want to discuss regrets and how to prevent them.

Before someone can start regretting or uttering the statement "had I known," that means they must have taken or not taken a particular action, which on the long run backfire and they ended up wishing they'd done otherwise. The first thing I believe everyone should keep in the back of their mind is that mistakes are part of life and will happen at one point or another.

When we understand that we humans aren't perfect and are bound to make mistakes, that'll or should at least ease the rate at which we chasten ourselves for the outcomes of our wrongdoing, and another thing about making a mistake or failing is that it is an avenue to gain more experience and become more knowledgeable about the nitty gritty of the situation.

Although having the understanding that mistakes are part of life doesn't conclude to make it a regular habit, instead one strives to live about it, and below I'll be sharing some of the ways we can overcome these states of regret in our subsequent life journey as we move on from that event.

• Understand that shit happens: The first thing one can do when in a state of regret is to acknowledge the fact that mistakes are bound to happen and that no one is totally above it no matter how perfect we seem to be; alongside that, such a person should be able to get themselves into a right state of mind, not one living under self-inflicted chastisement because of the mistake being made.

• Engage in something exciting: After the realization that mistakes are bound to happen and forgiveness of oneself, it's highly essential that such a person get involved in something very exciting that can literally get their mind off the particular situation for some time. That way, the mind will have enough time to gradually heal, and with such practice, one can systematically forget the incident.

• Speak to someone: There's this common saying that states that a problem shared is a problem half solved. The same is required of a depressed and regretful individual who wants to overcome their problem and state of mind, so in order to quickly overcome this state and as well move forward from it, it's highly essential that we speak with the right person who has the right words to console, heal, and motivate us back on track.

That's about all on my guide on how to overcome regret. I hope you'll find it valuable and effective, or someone you know is passing through the same thing if you show them these. I wish you all the best in overcoming it and I hope you'll have reasons to smile once again. If you wish to move on from it, check out the point I shared below;

• Vet what lead to your mistake
• Consult others for advice
• Be opened to continuous research and findings
• Try a new approach Or
• Try a new thing entirely
