When I saw this, I had to wonder: what regrets did I have, if any?
And how do we live lives of no regret?
Today, I’m asking that you answer those questions in the Comments section. If we have enough answers, I’ll do a blog post using them, but anonymously, of course.
Thank you.
I have to admit I don’t know the answer to this question it isn’t something I can manage myself though I try and have as few as possible.

There are always regrets and things we would change if we had it to do over. I look at it as it is in the past. I learned something from the situation and have grown and moved on.
My regrets are that I didn’t take care of my body more carefully in my 20s and 30s. It has impacted my entire life in a negative way.
I hear that!
I don’t know if it is entirely possible to live with absolutely no regrets, but I think it is possible to whittle down any bigs ones you have so that you can live life happy and healthy.
One thing I regret is even though I thought I held and cuddled my kids a lot when they were babies is that now they are too big to hold and cuddle and I would do about anything to just go back and cuddle them when they were babies just one more time.
I am sure I have a ton of regrets, and there are only a few I can acknowledge at one time. The biggest thing for me is knowing when to apologize, and doing so, even when I do not want to!

When I stop and think about this… I don’t have many regrets. Okay, maybe I regret not finishing the laundry yesterday b/c now it means I need to do laundry on a Friday night when I rather be enjoying a glass of wine LOL
I have many regrets. I regret placing my Dad and Mom in care facilities even though I couldn’t take care of them myself. I have communicated with them and all is forgiven and fine but I still struggle with it.
Living without regrets is hard. Apparently I don’t but I would think one has to focus on the positive and look toward the future instead of dwelling on the past.
It’s important to live our lives and not just exist. If you’re not following your passion and saying the things you need to say to the people who matter, you WILL live a life of regret.
It is sad when we lose someone and haven’t said it enough. I always tell my kids and husband how much I love them.
I am all too familiar with this. It always happens when you never expect it, and it hurts.
I don’t have many regrets, and those I have are for things I wish I had started sooner. Fear tends to do that for me!

I try to never live a life of regrets. Sometimes that’s easier said than done though, but I am working on this! Honestly though, I don’t have a lot of regrets.

I honestly don’t know the answer to this question. I honestly think that it really depends on ones values.

I think we will all have regrets, no matter what. It’s important to learn from your mistakes so you can grow as a person. And, forgive yourself for any past mistakes so you can live a freer, happier life.
I don’t have many regrets, I try not to dwell too much on them. But i’d have to say that I do regret being too structured. Not being spontaneous. I’d like to be able to do things on a whim and not freak out. I tend to over plan.
Everyone has their own share of regrets, and I do too, but these are things of the past. I can not do anything to go back in time to correct those mistakes/misgivings so I look at them as life lessons that I can use to make my life better today.
I think we all have regrets. It’s just part of our lives. I have regrets that I’ve learned to move on from.
Thankfully, I have very few regrets in life. I think even if we could go and do things differently, we learn important lessons from our “mistakes.”
I’m human, and therefore, not perfect. I have regrets, just like anyone else. I see those people who say, “no regrets” and I know that’s not the case. Things happen in our lives, that make us regret a decision we mad when we were younger.
I would have to say that my biggest regret is not spending more time with my Nana. We thought she was healthy and would live for years and a freak accident took her from us way too soon.

We all have regrets but we must look at it now in a positive light. Dwelling on them is like living in the past, which is an unhealthy habit.
I am not sure there is a person who has lived or will live a life with no regrets and that is just how life goes.
I think everyone has regrets of some sort. I know I do but I’m trying to live life now with no regrets so theres that.
Thanks for this Article. I hear that.
I regret not appreciating life more when I was younger – I spent far too much time dwelling on what I didn’t have rather than appreciating what I did have. Knowing that now, though, helps me now in the present and hopefully will move forward with fewer (if any regrets). Hindsight is 20-20 and I think sometimes we get caught up in the past and “what could’ve been” rather than letting it go as we learn.
