Will You Look Back with Regret?

Response to Top 5 life regrets

I learned I relate to a lot of these things now. And think there’s going to be some changes coming, not all bad maybe (hopefully). But I pray for the courage to actually make the changes necessary. That will guide me to the happiness I know I deserve.

Satisfied so far...

I find that overall I am satisfied with the life I've lived/am living (so far anyway; seeing as how I likely already died several times in the last few years!😱) I have loved and AM loved. My main regrets revolve around the losses I suffered when I had my massive stroke, and the horrid aftermath I'm still living through. But I AM alive, so I am still here for my wife and children! That’s all that really matters now! I have been keeping busy attempting to reconnect to old friends from schools and churches I've been a part of throughout my life. Social Media has helped me be somewhat successful in this endeavour.

Clearer

The narrator is difficult to understand Love the message and truth. Good advice

Will you look back with regret?

Thought provoking insights which touched me deeply today after losing a friend who died too young and too quickly.🙏🏻

Happiness

Happiness is not a destination. It is an emotion or state of mind. We control our own happiness by the choices we make. Make the choice to prioritize the things you love. Not only will this make you happy, your happiness will promote positive feelings for those around you.

Insight

As things are at present, I know that unless I make some genuine changes in my life, I will have regrets. I am an empath and, as such, spend much of my time and energy experiencing the emotions and pain of others. I tend to put my own needs at the back of the line more often than not. I know that I need more self-care in order to experience more joy and fulfillment in my own life. I fully intend to incorporate self-care into my life as I continue to care for others.

Perfect timing

This is something that I needed to hear. I am having a trying time at work and this lesson put things in perspective for me. I know I need to make a few changes regarding work but have felt stuck, staying because it is comfortable even though the days are trying. Hearing these regrets has helped me see things differently.

Lost

I have been totally focusing on the wrong things in my life. This session was an eye opener for me. All of those epiphanies are all the things I want in my life right now, or have always been wanting. But, I tuck them all the way in the back of my head, because I focus on the things others expect from me. I am going to write them down and read each one everyday, to help me start refocusing on what I want for myself in my life.

Uncertainty

The epiphany I had the most difficulty with was living to the expectations of others. I have struggled with this my whole life trying to please all those around me and neglecting to bring my authentic self to the room. I constantly worry if I am “too much” to people to accept. I need to continue to reflect in order to begin to understand what I want for my life rather than what others expect me to achieve.

Appreciate these but not sure how to break out of them

I know I’ll have some of these regrets because I already do. I don’t know how to break free. It starts with work, but as more people leave and aren’t replaced, those who remain are continually expected to do more. Not sure how to break free. Finding another job isn’t the answer. It’s been this way in multiple positions I’ve had over the last 10 or so years.

Happiness

Happiness is a choice - my new mantra!!! New affirmation - I choose to be happy.

Agree

I completely agree. Such simple truths. I didn’t like the 🎶 with this one, it didn’t flow and that was disruptive.

In control

I learned that I have a choice to be happy. It is in my hands.

What a great idea thanks

I will try the carton character when I have a negative thought

Living True ⭕️🌟

”I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me....” This was the most common regret Bronnie Ware, who spent many years as a nurse in palliative care, heard. It reminds me of a quote from Shakespeare’s Hamlet: “This above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man.” The speaker believes that a person must be loyal to their best interests first - then take care of others. Live true. Follow those dreams, take care of yourself first. Live a life that is true to yourself and then you will be able to better help loved ones and the world around you. ⭕️💕🌟

My father tells me all this he wishes he had not worked so hard I try to live through his regrets.

I need to express my feelings. I would be much happier, and I want to quit living for other people.

One year later...

I reflected on this practice one year ago. I find that what I wrote then remains mostly true today. My only real regrets in my life so far are failing to take better care of my health so I might have avoided the massive stroke which SO DRASTICALLY changed my life. But now, as then. I have loved, and AM in turn, loved. What more can a man ask for, really?

day 1

The fire alarm analogy helped to understand the anxiety a little more but I was left like with no tips or tools... Makes me feel more frustrated

Working to much

Wish I would have stopped by Brenda, moms more and not been caught up in litigation.

Focused

I can choose to focus on my goals, rather than the things I haven’t accomplished.

Will you look back with regret

No regrets. Identify what makes you happy. Set out to live that life. Have boundaries. Speak your truth. Don't get caught up on the.treadmill of work....

Life is what you focus on

I need to remember when I get in my head, I have the ingredients to happiness. It's up to me how I mix my ingredients to life. What you focus on is what you get.

Regrets

While I could’ve predicted these regrets since I have a lot already, it’s still hard for me to live my life & speak my truth. It comes down to being afraid. As much as I want to be truly happy & fulfilled in life, I’m scared of the things I know I’d have to do, the things I’d have to say, the people I’d have to let go of & the fear of being alone. It’s a daily struggle for me right now & as much as I’m working on it, I’m still scared that nothing will change.

Looking back

I know I've made mistakes and know I can't change them. I can forgive myself and move forward and challenge myself to not fall into the same patterns, keeping a positive outlook going forward is all I can do. I try to wake up in the morning with a better attitude about the day and that still seems to be my biggest challenge. I am just not a morning person.

Live a life true to you

Life is more than doing what you should

Be sure to live your life with true happiness and invest the most time and effort into what is most important to your happiness so you won’t live with any regrets!

Looking Back

This is an interesting Life Coaching session in which we are to inspect our lives and see whether or not we have regrets. After hearing the top 5 regrets that people, whom only had 2 weeks left to live, I began to ponder into my own life. I think a lot of us put judgements on ourselves thinking that if we do not have a successful career, car, house and a family at a certain age, we have failed and therefore, are not happy. At one time in my life, I had even thought this! After my injury, I had lost everything of ‘value’ or so I thought. Because of my injury, I no longer have a successful career. I no longer have my own house to live in. Heck, I do not even own my own car anymore! So it is no wonder with this way of thinking, I was terribly unhappy for the first year of living with my mom! I had thought happiness was found within all of those things! According to those people whom only had a short time left to live, they had all wished that they sought the courage to live a life true to ourselves, not worked so hard that they missed what was important to them, having the courage to express their feelings, staying in touch with their friends over the years and allowing themselves to be more happier! The number 1 regret was not being more happier in their lives! At the end of our lives, happiness isn’t about materialistic things, such as cars, houses, so on and so forth. Sure, it is nice to have a nice car or a nice house, but it isn’t going to give us true happiness. Indeed, happiness is a Choice we can make each and every day! We do not need to wait until ‘whatever’ comes into our lives! Each and every day, I Choose to be happy and be grateful for what I Do Have at this point in my life so that I will not look back on my life with regret. Thank you for this great Life Coaching session! Namaste ❤️☮️🙏🏻😊

Regrets

I really need to reflect on what is important to me NOW before making decisions about my future before making any decisions

Regret

I really need to reflect on what is important to me NOW before making decisions about my future before making any decisions

Hits close to home

This is a very timely session for me. Have been dealing with my dad’s Parkinson’s disease for almost 2 years and now my mom’s rapid decline due to dementia. While it’s hard to have substantive conversations with them now, I have noticed hints of these regrets in small comments. Now I am at a decision point as to whether I take extended time off work to be with one or both of them in their last months. The choice should seem obvious, but it’s surprisingly difficult, given my own goal of a fulfilling work life.

Living...

What a powerful story! Not surprising to me, but sad for many I am sure. Having always been a rebel or as my mom said in my baby book “ He seems to march to the beat of a different drummer!” She knew early I was not going to conform to the world but to the Truth. And that is what I have done most of my life. I do work hard, very hard, but I also play hard, sometimes very hard 🙄 Taking time off to be at my sons games was a priority when they were growing up. Being a Sunday School teacher for 15 years in order to have more & consistent time with them was important as was helping with their little league coaching. They are such fine, successful young men now so No regrets there. Still married to my first wife after 30 years who was able to stay home & raise our boys was a big key to all that happening. No regrets there either. But we went without a lot of the “nicer” things in life. Older cars, doing our own yard work & house repairs, vacationing in our backyard. I would say we had many happy times and made a lot of good & goofy memories. Those are some of the reasons I call myself TLMA! - The Luckiest Man Alive! I also know what we think about, we bring about, so I choose to think about being Lucky & how good my life is. Yes, things happen that many would label ‘bad’, but instead of focusing what was bad about it, I look for what possible good could come from it (& you can always find something good if you look close enough & with the right mindset). I try to live life from the point if I died today would I have any regrets. I can say no... at least not many, but I still have a lot more I would like to do. And that is where my focus is going for the future. Life is our choice & once you understand the Laws that control things you can make more Beneficial Choices & have fewer or No Regrets! ❤️☮️🍀

Stiff allover

I look at my life and I feel I missed out on having fun. I was and am always so serious. I wish I could be more loose and fancy-free. I want things to ALWAYS go right, and be right, and always do the right thing. I am so hard on myself. If I make a mistake I feel awful for the rest of the day. I feel I must always correct the wrong and a lot of times that thinking trickles over to my friends, family and loved ones. I don’t want to drive them away with my perfection . I want to be fun and relaxed!

Let go of regrets

I regret never telling anyone what truly happened to me as a young girl, internalizing me emotions became second nature as a single mom , no family here so I was not going to talk about my bad days to her ! It crept up on me recently and I’m filled with nightmares that sometimes paralyze me with fear and anxiety and I have to spend an hour calming myself quietly as I get the images (memories resurfacing) out of my head. I want to learn how to get the words out to a person I found I can trust bc that regret started the cycle of suppressing emotions to the mental health I’m in now.

Reaction to this audio

I feel very good and aware of real life problems humans face during their life. I’ve always been told that not being thankful for what you have can treat you wrong by making you very miserable. This audio helped me realize how many regrets pacientes shared I can change now for my life and make it more enjoyable. Also to focus on what I want to achieve as an individual an no what society may drive me to do. Focusing on my future, setting goals is something I believe will make me prosperous along my growth and make me as a whole a better persone! I loves this audio! Thanks!!

Choose for myself

I need to choose what will make me happy, not worry about my appearance or what i think other people want from me. i need to do what’s important to me

LIfe and realizing it’s purpose

I learned life is something worth more than money or anything valuable in life life is something that is richer than gold itself 😃😃

‘This is my life and I need to make the most of it

Do the things that make you happy but keep in mind what is also important to you

Let yourself be happier

I realize that what really matters is your close friends and family. Spending time with them. Making memories with them

New Year: New Decade: New Me

I need to bring more positivity in my life. Leaving the negativity behind me. And truly allowing myself the opportunity to learn, forgive, and forget. It’s been a rough year for me. But I’ve learned so much. I want to go into this year with no regrets and no hard feelings for anyone. I want to truly have a fresh start. And I want to make this year so good for myself. I want to let myself be more brave and have more courage. Hoping this year can be full of new beginnings, positivity, and courage:) hoping

What do I regret

I regret letting Arnold and Damon effect so much of my life so far. I regret not following through with my dreams and hopes. I want to spend the next year bringing purpose back into my life

Happiness insight

I feel like I learned that this year I can have insight on that I need to be more productive for my life and for my self in the inside and out. I also think that this year I can let myself be happy in the in and out. This year will be feel with happiness because in the future I do not want to regret it so I will have insight.

This year I am trying to look within myself and find what makes me happy and what I want to do.

Through this audio I learned to take a step back and find what makes me happy. Don’t worry about what other people think or desire or you because at the end of the day when you are old and gray you wanna look back and not have regrets.

True regret

This has been very thought provoking. It has redefined what regret means to me. I have a lot of reflection to do. It’s shown me the things I’ve been expending so much energy regretting are things I can never change, but I can focus that energy on my current and future life. A life I very much want to be happy living in, finding myself, and my purpose again. I feel hope for my life again! Wow....!

Poignantly appropriate

Trying to learn to be happy is what brought me to this app. I have trouble enjoying the now and find I have to work at changing my perspective an interpretation of the world around me. It’s both nice and sad to know that this is a common feeling amongst people.

Moving on

I learned that some people will selfishly Lie to you to only protect their name and not you're heart , I'm dealing with this problem so hard and this water breezing back and forth has me not thinking negatively towards that person who lied to me hurt me , mentally destroy my physical frame and not even care

I wish I had listened

I learned that I was too in tuned with fighting back the reality that as the days were going by so was my opportunity to grow mentally ,financially, physically,spiritually, cause I devoted my energy into a person I cared deeply for but lost interest in caring for myself when i was deeply falling apart ...now i find myself here alone while that person has got new friends, and is having a social life now meeting. New male & females while I totally poisoned my mind to the point where there's no more hope for me

Regret

I regret letting the 2 most powerful men in my life, whom I love dearly, run my life. I wish I had the strength and backbone to stand up for myself and live my life how I want to. So I can finally be happy

Letting go

I’m learning to just let go and live in the moment. It is so liberating. I have stage III breast cancer so before I was worried or anxious even though I kept a positive attitude. The positivity is still with me but gone are the shoulda, woulda, coulda days.

Do you look back with regret

For me number five was probably the biggest one. We never know until the end that happiness comes from within. We are told it all our lives but I think we never truly realize until the end of our days that it really was up to us. You would think we would evolved by now, but the emotions of the human psyche is something that I don’t know if we’ll ever understand.

Looking back

My mind was a bit distracted during this. Perfect example of not being present I will try again.

Finding myself

I learned that I have to start thinking more about myself and what I want to do in life. I should put myself first in line and focus on my happiness before I give advice and being joy to others. I shouldn’t be giving others advice if I’m not going to listen to my own advice. I should be proud of who I am and be great full for the life I have. I learned that I have to live everyday as if it was my last; to the fullest.

Serious question.

How do you find yourself? I spend so much time doing things sometimes I worry I’ve forgotten who I am.

I felt like it helped me think about what’s really important in life and have to start realizing it

It’s going to help me improve my life and how I will handle things in my life

Numb

I learned nothing. This mood I’m in will never go away. I will never be truly happy again.

Regrets

I learned that I need to share my feelings more with others instead of just trying to keep the peace all the time. This will allow me to be the best version of myself.

Regrets

From this meditation and story, from other people’s experiences, I have learnt that I should live life to the fullest as others could not do the same.

Stop should-ing all over yourself

A good friend said this to me recently, and it made me laugh immediately. We’re way too hard on ourselves. “I should...” is one of the most common cognitive distortions. It’s not about you when you say that. You’re not thinking about your needs and wants, because that’s how you would say it “I need...” or “I want”. And it’s okay (and expected even) to do things to meet others needs and wants, it is important to distinguish between what you need/want and what others need/want from you.

What I realized

I need to stop living for others, and live for myself. I need to make myself happy and not worry if others approve

I need to stop trying to please other people and my mom.

I need to make myself happy and please myself not others I can’t let my anxiety control me. I need to do thing for myself then for other people.

Regrets

I learned that the way I am feeling lately is very accurate. That most of us are just going through life, going to the motions and not living, not being truly happy or seeing our dreams and trying to get them realized. —Not even attempting to do the things we actually can do to make our lives more meaningful to ourselves

Regrets

The keeping up with friendships spoke most to me. On the other side of this is, I regret not discovering more about my dad before he died

Questioning

My current mood is making me question myself and the choices I’ve made when it comes to relationships. Though I know I can’t make others happen until I’m truly happy with myself.

Will You Look Back With Regret?

I have many regrets. I was never able to be myself because of my ex husband. I had to maintain an even strain for my children’s sake. Now that they’re grown and I’ve recently gotten a divorce I don’t think anyone cares who I am. I don’t know who I am.

Happiness

The fact that happiness is a choice is quite remarkable. What a blessing it is to be able to choose to be happy, even in what could be the darkest of circumstances.🌱🔜🌲💪

Regrets

Doing what makes me happy IS important. I will never regret being happy.

Happiness/Regrets

I am thinking about how many of my life choices have been passive ones. Likely made because of what was expected for my life. I don’t regret those choices. But moving forward, I would like to take a more active role in my life. Where to begin...?

What Jaclyn Needs.

I learned that I have so much to live for. I need to stop living for others and live for myself. God did not give me this life to always please others needs. He gave me this life to please my own needs, and occasionally please others needs after I please my own first. I need to stop feeling sorry for myself and stop saying that “I can’t do this, I can’t do that.” This pandemic has really taken a toll on the world especially my world. But I can choose to look at this pandemic in a negative way, or I can choose to look at it in a positive way. I’m choosing positive. I chose positive because this pandemic has allowed me to actually take care of myself. To start learning meditation and healthier ways of doing things for myself. I took a leave of absence from work, starting focusing on my mental, emotional, and physical health, and started to do things for me. Even though this pandemic is awful because of how many lives it took and is still taking, and how many businesses it shut down, I am extremely grateful for it because it gave me a chance to look at something that is so awful and turn it around to look at it as a blessing.

I know what I want

But I often stand in my own way by holding onto past experiences that no longer serve me. I need to stop my patterns of self destruction to achieve the life I truly desire.

Life

Stop focusing on the shoulds or other people’s expectations of you. I would love to read the book referenced in the meditation. The 5 epiphanies were really helpful and I’d like to learn more! Don’t work so hard, stay in touch with your friends, do what makes you happy.

Regrets

I tend to regret a lot of things in my life. I shouldn’t, because they’ve all made me who I am now. I need to CHOOSE happiness. ❤️

This Hits Home

I’m approaching a point in my life where I feel like if I don’t stay true to myself, to my authenticity, and what makes me happy, then I might end up having some of these same regrets. I need to constantly remind myself that we only have one life to live, and that mistakes, joyful moments, failures, and successes are all part of the package.

Wow

I learnt that this is where I am right now in my life. I'm happy to hear I'm not alone. I've struggled with depression and anxiety all my life and I'm in a position right now to make changes for myself. I lack confidence and courage to speak my truth, fearing I will offend others or cause conflict. I struggle with knowing who I am and what I want.

Timely

This is sooo timely for me. This is my current struggle. Do I go left where nothing is right or, do I go right where nothing is left? I miss my person.

Watching It Go By

Isn’t okay for me anymore. I know - KNOW - that I’m going to have profound regrets if I have an opportunity to reflect before I pass—whenever that may be....UNLESS - TODAY & NOW, I add “Must-Do” actions that includes connecting, accepting, forgiving and choosing happiness. #DefaultLove

Freedom

I feel like we’re all so concerned about what others will say and about having the life others expect you to have, this is truly sad and I hope one day I can be truly free and do what I love the most without looking for others approval.

What is important

This resonated with me, thank you it's just what I needed to hear right now

I am having intense deja vu right now or else I have heard this befre and I was meant to hear it

I realized I do t have to get rid of all my friends forever no try to find new ones, but I can reconnect with the people whose friendship matters most.

Will you look back on your life with regreat

I learned that it’s good to be happy because life is short. We aren’t promised tomorrow so I want to try and enjoy each day of my life and laugh more.

Happiness is a choice

This is something I know to be true, want to learn how to choose happiness more often

Realization

It’s okay to be me...too short...right more. Haha. App is telling me to not be me. Sigh...

Tomorrow is never promised

Happiness is not just living to make others happy you have to be true to yourself and love love love keep in touch and be happy and grateful for today!!❣️⚡️🙏🏼

Happiness

It's important to take time and love yourself and choose your happy place and occupy it

Live now because you won’t forever

Being myself and doing what I love now will make me happy. I won’t have forever to do this, because tomorrow isn’t promised.

Importance

What is important? I had to stop and ask myself. Roof over my head. Bills paid. Food on the table. Love...so then what makes me happy? Finding true happiness is a feeling. I’m going to focus on that today...really unravel what it is and then try to increase that...Thankyou!💫💫💫

I want to choose better way to respond to things that come up and challenge me.

I have learned that it’s okay to be me in ways that is nothing to do with others.

Passion

I have, for so long, not followed a passion, but rather done what I hate just to meet others expectations. I need to rediscover my passion and not fear it.

Life happiness

I learnt that life is too short to be miserable and to live with regret

Silly

It struck me that I tend to be too responsible with my children and don’t often allow time for the silly.

I worry if I will be truly happy with so much worry in my life. I hope that I can get to a point where I truly love myself. I wish to be authentic and connected with close friends.

I need help. I need to feel connected to this world. I need to feel joy.

Happiness

I have come to realise I don’t know true happiness. I don’t have dreams. Regrets yes. But I don’t know what it is that makes me me. My children are my world I have provided but now as they leave home what is it that I have, the walls on my home are silent....regrets... the what if’s..

Regrets and giving up you

I really missed out on a lot with my younger life working hard to be where I am and not even happy there. I missed much of my children’s lives and failed to be happy together. I truly do wish I would let myself be happier. I have chosen to stay in my patterns and failed to grow emotionally and spiritually. I realize that I must be free and not allow others to take that away from me. Not to over commit myself.

I needed this, as I just learned less than 2 hrs ago, someone that I was a friend with killed herself last night.

Live each moment, learn from each moment, grow from each moment. It’ll be okay.

Sad reflection no more

Feeling so much sadness and loss over the years but it is a choice to be sad. Time for change

I loved this reminder I’m 70 and I am very happy I may yet have time on my terms

Great work😇. I loved the voices and the background sounds.

Outlook on Life

This is an amazing point of view on life. As a chronically ill person, I have had similar regrets or held on to limiting beliefs because of my physical restrictions.

Regret

I noticed that I am in tune with the fear of having those regrets. I will not except defeat from my ex in losing my daughter. I know I would regret that most. She’s worth it.

I noticed that I already practiced these concepts and it made me feel confident in what I’m doing, but also reminded me that I can implement them more on certain situations and every day life. 😀

I can choose happiness everyday, and if I do that I won’t have any regret.

Day 1

I learned that work cannot be the center of my life. I need to live and be happy.

Happiness is a choice

Many regret that they did not allow themselves to be happy and enjoy life. But happiness is a choice.

Happiness Is a Choice

I think epiphanies can arrive thru thoughtfully going within. Having a platform to work on such as “Happiness is a Choice,” assists.

Calm

I felt amazing Thank you I feel less stressed I feel calmI just felt amazing 🙂

Oct 16, 2021

I make an effort to do all of the top 5 things people say they regret in their dying weeks.

I am not living a life true to myself.

I need to make the most of my remaining years. I hold back on doing and saying things I truly feel, worry I might hurt someone’s feelings or they will be critical of what I’m doing…need to realize it’s my life not theirs!

Don’t be a slave to work

Stop working and worrying. Start living and gathering experiences that matter

Choose to be happy.

I learned that people wish they would have made the choice to be happy more during their life. I just can't believe how difficult it can be sometimes to make such an obvious choice.

Honestly

I need to be true to myself. Listen to my heart and follow my dreams.

Hit home

This really hit home about changes that I need to make in my life. As I was listening tears rolled down my face about so many of these I feel and already regret.

Regret

I don’t want to look back and regret the choices I’ve made in life. I want to love freely and fully not just in a romantic sense, even if it means getting my heart broken or others not understanding. I want to embrace the dark with the light, grow an appreciation and understanding of it. I want to spend my life learning all the things, traveling, growing as a human. I want to spread light wherever I can, not worry about money or power or status. I want to live authentically.

I’m not living my life for myself at this time , my goal is to get motivated and make changes , it will be hard , but I’m not going to continue being a rug. More happiness and self care &self confiden

Moment .my goals are Self care, happiness and stop being a rug!

Keep reminding myself

Happiness is a choice. I need to remind myself of what’s important to me and stay on that path. Stop working so hard and enjoy more. Breathe.

Meditation

I really can do it!!! I never thought I could have the patience to do this but it’s amazing.

I choose to be happy

Today I choose to be happy! I have good health for the most part and I’m at peace with my life and life’s decisions.

Each Day

Strength, happiness, confidence, these are mindsets that have to be revisited everyday. And even when they may become a habit there will be days that they will require more energy.

Regrets

What a wonderful reminder. I have been really working on trying to love my life with no regrets. It is surprising what happens when you do

Happeniess

To not expect from other people to put my happiness first. Create a balance in my life so I can enjoy my kids and not work so hard

Hopefully it’s never too late

I  spent my life chasing after things knowing this would make me happy. When a devastating series of illnesses took it all away I didn’t know if I could be happy again this is helped me realize that happiness is not things because they are all gone and I am still here I must choose to be happy. So at 75 I am starting over in a 500 square foot room with only a few of my necessary belongings and I didn’t even get to choose those. But I can choose to be happy!

True

Stay true to self, love wholeheartedly And without fault. Communication is key. Solitude and sabbath are essential to wellbeing

Unworthy

I learned that while I allow the people around me to make me feel unworthy, I’m wasting precious time on the wrong thing. Each day I will make a conscious effort to remind myself to do the smallest things to make myself smile🙂

Life lessons

I felt the regret of "I never let myself be happy". Learning how to enjoy ourselves while enjoying other people is so key, yet so hard to learn!

Regret

I have learned that I regret a lot of things and they have taken time away from my life and my relationships! I don’t want to live life according to how others feel I should ❤️

Great reminder

I recently have been scammed via a romantic scam, I have reported and tried to take action but with me having CPTSD I am now taking more action with my mental health and recently found this app. This session-So much truth in this session hit me, and has been a great reminder. It is empowering to me to hear this, to know others too have felt this way and shared their stories in order to help others, being part of something bigger than themselves. It also brings up many years of therapy sessions where professionals had tried to help me understand this concept that we can choose our life paths, our way of thinking and to keep trying. Life is trial and error and being resilient can be a great trait to learn.

Breaking habits..

I learned that I am unhappy, that I dwell to much on things past which I cannot change. And even though to others I appear happy and content I think I wear a mask a lot of the time and tend to think things that are actually really destructive in my life are actually making me happy, but they are not.

Being happy

I should spend my life well and do what makes me happy. I’ll do what I want to do not what others tell me to do.

Regret

My regret runs throughout me it’s staggering. I tried my best. I wish I could let it go.

I was reminded

Life is too short to love a mundane life! We often get too caught up in living for the weekend and not be present in the week.

I felt this urge to stop living for everybody else.. and instead listen to the child within me.. even if that means I'll lose important people around me. But that is OK.. as long as I'm true to myself

Life is too short to be afraid.. I have been hiding my true self far too long, just to please everyone else

My Life

I live with a nagging feeling that I have always lived my life based on what I think others expected. I don’t want to die with that regret as my final thought. I need to figure out a healthy way to live life for me.

Looking back

It was touching to hear what people regretted most at the end. I want to live my best life now.

Bigger picture

I learned that when challenges come in life, it is beneficial to focus on the “bigger picture”. This includes reflecting on the things I want to focus my time on while I am here and living, and not regret any moment that I have!

Happiness is a choice

I learned that this feeling i keep enduring. Is my choice. I don’t want to be happy because i feel like if i do. There won’t be anything different about me.

The courage to be happy

ALLOWING myself to BE happy.. what a concept 👌🏽 it’s crazy how these aha moments come when you least expect them.. thank you 😊 Courage to be true to myself. That’s the goal for today 🥰🥰

Happiness is a choice

My motto which I share with many of my patients. I have CPTSD & though I carry on outwardly to others and honestly do feel happy, I have a darker side with self protecting behaviors that are deeply seated as a result from events all through my life. These come out mainly with extreme stress or triggering moments. The COVID pandemic for so long and demanding, many healthcare workers just quit, leaving the rest of us overworked, over stressed. The isolation from friends & family triggered a major set back in my frame of mind. I’m work as a nurse. I sought therapy right away when I started having vivid flashbacks on my way home at night of traumatizing events in the past-something I had never experienced before. I was getting depressed for sure! I have been on the right track now for quite awhile, feeling much better. I found this app & absolutely love it. This session like others just brought me to a level of calm & emblazoned in my mind once again that happiness is a choice. Very relaxing,
