Are your kids are growing up too fast? Wish things had turned out differently? Looking for positive mindset hacks to Live with No regrets without bypassing the work? Here is your answer, Resilient woman!
TL;DR You, brilliant soul, are worthy of loving yourself free of regrets. – Heidi Esther
“Hey mom, I’ll be your Tik Tok manager. I can do that.” my son suggested in between shovels of dinner.
My heart soared. I envisioned him stopping by on weekends from college. Helping me navigate the new platform with ease. Each of us laughing and weaving our bond stronger.
In my heart, I knew he needed his time. I could feel a catch in my throat.
“How about we see how your first year goes, then maybe I can pay you next summer?” I asked and winked.
Later that night, I sat down and reflected. I knew exactly where that catch came from. Regret. Honestly, I live with almost no regrets, as crazy as that sounds. Not from Unemployment. Not from Divorce.
Regret pops in from time to time from the most unlikely place: When I was home with my kids.
Why? I wasn’t present; I was too busy trying to be perfect. I took all the pictures and was never in them. I don’t remember the smell of my babies or watching them in wonder and awe.
I went through this process to make peace with that me; that time. To reinforce my resilient woman.
3 keys To Live with no Regret?
1) Compassionate Copilot. First, send love, grace, and forgiveness to yourself. As if you were your best friend. What will the committee in your head get you? Just more headaches.
2) Lucky Penny. Sometimes we regret things that happened. Whether or not they were in our control, our job in life is to accept. Not accepting keeps our energy locked up and us not living our best lives. What was one lesson you learned and one thing you can be grateful for?
3) Try your best? Can you honestly say you tried your best with what you knew and who you were? If not, can you make a promise to yourself for next time? Realizing you tried your best reduces your shame and regret.
By engaging our compassion, gratitude, and making a promise to our future selves, we carve a heart-centered way to process, accept, and step forward as more resilient women. In the end, we lessen the shame and regret and tune into more present moment goodness and joy.
YES! The Joy that you deserve!
