I think feeling some sort of regret helps you learn. Is how long you ruminate what can be detrimental.
I still strongly believe many things happen for a reason. However we only have one life to live - got to learn from our mistakes and pack the sneaky guilt in a sealed cage to not miss out on what we have in front of us ✨💜
That is a good balancing point about regret as an emotional experience. I was thinking of how some people like to share pictures and words that say “live life with no regrets!” as motivational. It’s like, uh huh … how? It’s like when people say, “Be happy”. Seems meaningful, but not really.
"Are you sad? Don't be sad" hahaha yes I understand exactly what you mean.
Following our intuition leads to fewer regrets, but still temporary regret/guilt teaches us, if we want to learn, from decision-making to accountability. Chronic regret is what can consume one's mind.
