Summary:

Regret can be defined as a feeling of sadness, repentance, or disappointment over something that has happened or been done. As humans, we all make mistakes, and there are going to be points in our life where we face regret. Rather than dwelling on it and making ourselves more miserable, regret needs to be addressed so your emotions can be processed properly. Whenever you experience regret, there are three things that you should do.

1. Learn From Them - When we experience regret, it is in our best interest to make sure that we don't make the same mistakes again. Whatever got us to that point can most likely be prevented from happening again, and if you take the time to really learn what went wrong and why, you have a greater chance of preventing it from happening again. Whenever you experience regret, take some time to journal about it, really dig deep, and make sure that you learn from your mistakes to avoid them from happening again.

2. Do Our Best To Make Things Right - Often when we face regrets, we either wrong another person, or in some cases, we wrong ourselves. In whatever situation that we're in, if it's possible, we need to make sure that we make things right. Unfortunately, sometimes it's not possible, but in all the situations that it is, it's up to us to make amends. Whether that means apologizing, paying someone back, or just doing something special to let bygones be bygones, making an effort to make things right again will do a good job at relieving some of that regret. Even if the person doesn't accept your attempt at making things right, you will still have the satisfaction of knowing that you tried. Besides, you're human, you're not perfect, and as long as you can come to terms with that, you'll be okay.

3. Accept Them - Sometimes, it's best that we accept our regrets. None of us here are perfect; there will always be times that we screw up and have some regrets in this lifetime. That's why there's no point in dwelling on the past - it can't be changed, and learning to accept the things that happened in the past will prevent a lot of worry and stress in the future. So if you do have regrets and you can't make them right, just do your best, then be okay with yourself and accept the regrets that you are experiencing.
