Regret. It’s a feeling we all have from time to time. It’s a word that makes us wince. When we feel regret, we look back on the choices we’ve made in the past and think about what we could have done differently…what we should have done differently. Regret stems from that pit in your stomach that you’ve made a mistake. That you did something wrong. How do you avoid regret?
