Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.

I had a thought the other day and it was an interesting one and I'll be real I'm kind of playing around with this as a new thought that I really really like.

Now, when we look back at our lives, many of us feel some regret. Maybe it's small regret like perhaps saying the wrong thing at the wrong

time that maybe hurts someone's feelings and you have to make amends. Maybe it's larger

scale regret. I'll never forget when a coworker said to me, you know,

I think that I let the right one get away. I think that I made a mistake. I think that I took the wrong turn when it came to her

relationships. And it's so interesting because when I think about regret I realize and know that regret is just a

thought, right? It's an interpretation that we give an event in the past and it gives us that

sinking feeling. It makes us feel heavy it makes us feel like we

failed or we've done something wrong or that we should be full of negative

emotion for in a moment in our past going one way when perhaps another way would have

been a better option.

I have a couple of things I want to share with you on this today. Number one, we never know.

We never, ever know. If we went left instead of right, if we went here instead of there, we don't know what the outcome would be or would have been. We will never know. It is futile to feel regret and yet we still do.

So I want to offer this thought that I have around regret that could maybe help you if regret ever lingers.

Maybe it's something recent, maybe it's something further in the past.

But I think to myself, what if we turned regret in our life into appreciation.

Mmm, revolutionary, isn't it, to think about it that way?

This is what I love playing within my mind.

What if anything I regret, instead I felt appreciation for. Case in point.

You probably know, or if you're new here, maybe you don't, that I was divorced in my 20s.

Divorce apparently is one of the three most painful things to go through in life,
