In our relationships, our jobs, our daily lives, there are many things commanding our attention, asking for our time, to choose things besides our own preferences, and leaving us little time for ourselves and what we may want too. It sucks our energy, and part of ourselves each day. But how much is enough? And ...
why you shouldn’t regret anything
Why are regrets such a pain...? Regrets take up time and toxic energy. They make us self doubt and self blame ourselves for things that are no longer ours to control. They're already in the past.

Don’t get stuck in the past
Remember when you had the flutter of anticipation and excitement. The newness of it all. You can't help but smile like a kid in a candy store. Damn, that was a great time. But now it's over.

Change your narrative
