Regret is a wasted emotion because it's tied to the past, which remains unchangeable. When we dwell on past decisions, it tends to have a negative impact, leading to self-doubt and a nagging feeling of having made the wrong choices. In this episode, Kathleen candidly reflects on her own regrets, spanning relationships, marriage, career, and her place of residence. She delves into the idea that societal expectations and the pursuit of a supposed happiness formula often fuel these feelings of regret and goes on to explore the concept that embracing life's inherent messiness and accepting one's choices can be instrumental in moving beyond regret's clutches.
In a nutshell, Kathleen talks about:
- Regret as a complex and often paralyzing emotion.
- The fear of judgment and societal expectations related to making "right" decisions.
- Kathleen’s personal examples of regret, including relationships, career choices, and life milestones.
- The duality of regret, as both a negative emotion and a motivator for making bold decisions.
- The importance of accepting one's life and focusing on the positive aspects, even if regrets persist.
