How to get rid of REGRET & ANXIETY (The Power of Now)

What are the two most common bad feelings you can think of? There is a 99% chance that you would probably respond with regret and anxiety.

Regret is the constant stream of thoughts about the past.
Anxiety is the constant stream of thoughts about the future.

SOCIALS:

When you wake up 10 minutes late in the morning, your first thought would be:
“Shit, I overslept. I wish I had not hit the snooze button.” (Regret)

Followed up by:
“Oh no, now I’ll be late for work, I’m sure my boss will yell at me!” (Anxiety)

Regret, Anxiety and Jealousy is the worst

[taigofr]

Great lesson
At least one very common in people: getting sad or stressed when they realise they have regret or anxiety. At the feeling itself and not at the root of the issue, just doubling the problem with that.

This person isn’t suffering with OCD but I liked the saying, “ It is fine” I appreciate that wonderful suggestion.

Thanks I’ve been going through regret let’s hope this helps

Perhaps, if you knew then what you know now you would have done it differently. You are a different person today. Forgive yourself, & move on. You are doing great and heading in the right direction!

It's very very informative I can't understand why it is underrated

I've been going through some MAJOR regret recently, which hit me all of a sudden on multiple fronts (including one huge lost, once in a lifetime, opportunity not long ago that would have brought me real happiness and fulfillment, but I completely didn't even think about it until just a few days ago and it's hit me like a ton of bricks, to the point of agonizing internal screaming in my head). And I was already having a lot of other regrets on top of several major things weighing on me all at once.

I need help. I will try to take this advice.

Leaving a past job and wishing I was still there. Not trusting my intuition at the time, that was telling me this wasn't the right thing to do.

Hey, well try me. I was once taken to my boss's office--with her and her chef colleague--for touching my coworkers too much ( *_casually, _* on arms or shoulders). I was always very outgoing and tactile at work. The chef told me that we need the workers to be comfortable in a good work environment. That I shouldn't talk about anything other than work and school or tell my stories, because they may be inappropriate or upsetting (can't remember her exact words) to others. Now yeah, I pretty much didn't have a filter, but I don't think I said anything *_horrible._* I only meant to have fun with my crew. I really didn't get specific information from the chef about subjects and references. She likes that I'm outgoing, but she made it sound risky and in need of limits. And again, that I shouldn't touch anyone without consent.

I own my mistakes at work, but I don't want anyone twisting it around into I'm making the chef the only bad guy. I didn't _mean_ any harm or discomfort. If I had known anyone would feel either, (though technically no one showed signs), I would _not_ have touched them. I am not a creep. But the chef made me feel like one. See, she shouldn’t have been so firm and in my face. A gentle, respectful talk for a couple minutes was all I needed. She shouldn’t have restricted me to handshakes only. Casual taps or pats or whatever are actually ok, as long as you don’t overdo them and it’s to friendly people who clearly enjoy you. I always thought it was perfectly innocent and natural, and I still do, in certain ways. Happens a lot at the bar parties I go to—total strangers. Besides, two middle-aged workers from the dining department have done it to me; I don’t condemn it. Also, the chef did not have to ask my boss if there was anything she wanted to add. How did she think that would make me feel? Not disrespected and like a criminal? HeII, my boss shouldn’t have been in the room at all; I deserved some dignity and comfort. I felt horrible. But of course, whenever I expressed this side on other videos, people would continue faulting me or saying the chef was right. To them, it was this side over the other. I felt like no one understood me or the gray areas I still think exist.

2:30 ENVY!!! I have a real problem with envying people, probably rooted in the fact I had parents that pitted my siblings and I against one another and rewarded behaviour, good or bad, to one sibling at a time. They would demand us to act or do deeds that suited their immediate needs, even if it hurt the other siblings. We were only pawns to hold their lazy asses up. Instead of praise, we got intimidation and abuse. And since we were trapped in that household by abuse and lies, we had to learn to jump when they said jump.
